§ 12305 Potash Lease Revenue Distribution

This law says the money the federal government gets from potash mining has to be shared with the school districts and community college districts where the potash is located, based on how much each district's mines paid the government.

Key Takeaways

  • •Money from potash leases is split among local school and community‑college districts.
  • •The split is based on each district's share of the total rent, royalties, and other payments to the U.S.
  • •Only districts that have potash leases or deposits get a share.

Example

A potash mine in District X pays the U.S. $200,000 in rent and royalties, while a mine in District Y pays $100,000. The total paid by both districts is $300,000.

Because District X paid two‑thirds of the total, two‑thirds of the money the law talks about will go to the schools and community colleges in District X, and the remaining one‑third will go to those in District Y.
