In 1999, Senator Wyden teamed up with Republican Senator Larry Craig to author the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, commonly known as the “county payments” law.  The law honors the federal government’s historic commitment to rural communities where the federal government holds land, establishing a payment formula for counties that had previously received revenue-sharing payments from U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands. Since Wyden got the law passed in October 2000, the program has brought more than $3.1 billion dollars to Oregon counties -- to keep teachers in classrooms, sheriffs on the job and roads in good repair.

Widen secured a one-year extension of the program in 2007 and then fought for and won a four-year re-authorization of the program in 2008. Since then, he has secured extensions of the program and is working to end the cycle of uncertainty for the program. He introduced the bipartisan Forest Management for Rural Stability Act to provide financial stability to the Secure Rural Schools program by making it permanent and creating an endowment fund to provide stable, increasing and reliable funding for county services.

In 1999, Senator Wyden teamed up with Republican Senator Larry Craig to author the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, commonly known as the “county payments” law.  The law honors the federal government’s historic commitment to rural communities where the federal government holds land, establishing a payment formula for counties that had previously received revenue-sharing payments from U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands. Since Wyden got the law passed in October 2000, the program has brought more than $3.1 billion dollars to Oregon counties -- to keep teachers in classrooms, sheriffs on the job and roads in good repair.

Widen secured a one-year extension of the program in 2007 and then fought for and won a four-year re-authorization of the program in 2008. Since then, he has secured extensions of the program and is working to end the cycle of uncertainty for the program. He introduced the bipartisan Forest Management for Rural Stability Act to provide financial stability to the Secure Rural Schools program by making it permanent and creating an endowment fund to provide stable, increasing and reliable funding for county services.
