Urges federal government to adjust Payment in Lieu of Taxes for federal lands in Missouri's poorest counties.
The bill urges the federal government to adjust Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) for federal lands in Missouri's poorest counties. It highlights that over 1.7 million acres of Missouri land are federally owned and that Wayne, Shannon, Reynolds, Oregon, and Taney counties received the most PILT payments in 2022. Three of these counties are among the ten poorest in the state, with 16% of their residents at or below the federal poverty level. The bill suggests that PILT payments should be adjusted to better support these counties, which have a larger share of federal land.
