Thompson, LaMalfa Praise Passage of Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act

House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) and House Agriculture Subcommittee on Forestry and Horticulture Chairman Doug LaMalfa (CA-01) released the following statement on the advancement of the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act of 2025:

"Today’s bipartisan passage of the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act delivers long-overdue certainty for rural communities, schools, and public services that depend on these funds to survive. For too long, counties with federal land have seen an unfair decline in timber revenue through no fault of their own. This legislation ensures rural students and families aren’t left behind simply because of where they live.”
