In October 2000, Congress passed Public Law 106-393 entitled "Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act of 2000" which stabilized federal payments to states for funding schools and roads. The new law commonly referred to as Payments to States replaces and fundamentally changes the way the Forest Service has been returning a portion of its annual receipts to jurisdictions falling within national forest boundaries ("the 25 percent fund").
