7 U.S.C. § 303 — Management expenses paid by State

This section has no lettered subsections. It requires States to cover certain administrative costs out of their own treasuries, not out of the proceeds of land sales. From the date these lands are first selected until they are sold, the States to which the lands belong must pay all expenses of management, superintendence, and taxes. States must also pay all costs of managing and distributing the money that comes in once the land is sold, out of the treasury of the State. The reason for this rule is stated directly: it makes sure the full proceeds from selling the land go, without any reduction, toward the purposes described in sections 304, 305, 307, and 308 of this title.
