Senator Lee's Budget Amendment for Increased PILT Passes Senate
Aug 11, 2021
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced a budget resolution amendment that carves budgetary space for legislation increasing federal PILT payments to local governments. PILT stands for payments in lieu of taxes, and the program currently pays much less than local governments could collect if federal lands were assessed property tax. Senator Lee’s amendment opens the door for a bill to determine the size of the payment shortfall and bring PILT payments in line with what local governments are due.
The amendment passed the Senate in the early hours of Tuesday by a 51-48 margin during the budget resolution vote-a-rama process.
Lee Bill Protects Schools From Critical Race Theory
Aug 11, 2021
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) today introduced the Empowering Local Curriculum Act, a bill to ensure that the receipt of federal education funds does not require the teaching of critical race theory. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) joined as a co-sponsor.
“Critical race theory undermines our founding principles, institutions, social mobility, and history itself – and schools should not be forced to teach it,” said Sen. Lee. “This bill will ensure that with the receipt of federal funds, states and local educators will not have to.”
