                (beginning with fiscal year 1998) are available under

    This Act may be cited as the ``Sustainable Revenue for Oregon 
Counties Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) more than half of the land in the State of Oregon is 
        owned by the Federal Government;
            (2) in many counties of the State, significant portions of 
        the land of the counties (often significantly more than half of 
        the land of the counties) is owned by the Federal Government;
            (3) the land described in paragraph (2) includes Forest 
        Service land and Oregon and California grant land;
            (4) the counties described in paragraph (2) are unable to 
        derive revenue from property taxes on land owned by the Federal 
        Government;
            (5) historically, payments made by the Federal Government 
        based on revenues from harvesting timber (including Oregon and 
        California grant land and Forest Service payments) have 
        provided a revenue substitute for property taxes;
            (6) the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-
        Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 500 note; Public Law 106-
        393) augmented the payments described in paragraph (5) because 
        of a significant decline in timber harvest revenues;
            (7) Congress extended the payments described in paragraph 
        (6) for 1 year in 2007, and for 4 years effective beginning in 
        2008, to provide time to develop a long-term sustainable 
        alternative to the payments described in paragraph (6);
            (8) the prospects for a long-term extension are uncertain 
        because of concerns regarding Federal budget deficits and long-
        term financial assistance to local governments of the State;
            (9) counties of the State that have historically received 
        the payments described in paragraph (5) are in need of a 
        sustainable, long-term revenue source;
            (10) there are opportunities for the conduct of activities 
        in the Federal forest land of the counties of the State that 
        could be structured to be economically and environmentally 
        sustainable, including--
                    (A) the harvesting of timber (including thinning to 
                restore forest health) in a sustainable manner and in 
                sustainable quantities;
                    (B) the removal of biomass material from the forest 
                land for--
                            (i) the generation of electricity; and
                            (ii) the production of cellulosic biofuels;
                    (C) the conduct of activities that could--
                            (i) increase the sequestration by the 
                        forest land of atmospheric carbon; or
                            (ii) provide other ecosystem services for 
                        communities, such as clean water; and
                    (D) the conduct of recreational activities;
            (11) other sources of revenue, including State and local 
        revenue sources, should also be considered in selecting a 
        sustainable, long-term revenue source; and
            (12) payments made by the Federal Government could be 
        continued under a variety of different payment methodologies.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On December 7, 2008, Jose Sucuzhanay, an Ecuadorian-
        born real estate agent and father of two, was beaten to death 
        in Brooklyn while walking with his brother, who was visiting 
        from Ecuador. Three men with baseball bats attacked the 
        brothers while shouting anti-gay and anti-Hispanic slurs.
            (2) Marcelo Lucero, 37 years of age, came to the United 
        States from Ecuador in 1993. He settled in Patchogue, New York, 
        a middle-class village in central Long Island. He worked in a 
        dry cleaning store and sent his savings home to his mother, a 
        cancer survivor, whom he had not seen since he left 16 years 
        ago. On the night of November 8, 2008, shortly before midnight, 
        seven teenagers got out of their car and taunted Lucero with 
        racist slurs as he walked home. They then beat and murdered 
        Marcelo Lucero. According to the indictment, the boys set out 
        that night to find someone of Hispanic heritage to assault.
            (3) The number of hate groups in the United States has 
        increased by 54 percent over the past 8 years.
            (4) In 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported a 
        6 percent rise in the number of hate crimes against gay, 
        lesbian, and transgender people.
            (5) According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
        attacks on Hispanics grew 40 percent from 2003 to 2007, even 
        though the Hispanic population only grew 16 percent in the same 
        time period and the total number of hate crimes has remained 
        steady.
