AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program, which pays local governments that have tax-exempt federal land within their borders. It changes the population limits used to cap these payments, lowering the smallest population level in the table from 5,000 people to 500 people. It replaces the payment-limit table with a new one that sets a per-person dollar amount for population levels from 500 to 50,000. The amounts range from $514.50 per person at a population of 500 to $92.50 per person at a population of 50,000.
