Summary

Local Government Fiscal Assistance Amendments of 1980 - Amends the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act to delete provisions for State assistance. Prohibits adjustments in payments to local governments prior to October 1, 1980, on the basis of revisions to 1970 census-based population and income estimates as a result of 1980 census data. Authorizes appropriations to the Local Government Fiscal Assistance Trust Funds for entitlement periods beginning October 1, 1980, and ending September 30, 1985. Sets forth formulas for allocating payments to the States for allocation to local governmental units. Provides for a transitional allocation to the States for allocation to local governmental units for fiscal years 1981 and 1982 based upon amounts transferred by a State to local governmental units, but excluding State educational aid. Sets forth formulas for allocating amounts allocated to the States among local governmental units, Indian tribes, and Alaskan native villages. Provides restrictions on and adjustments of local entitlements. Directs the Bureau of the Census to develop population estimates for Indian tribes and Alaskan native villages to be used in making allocations. Revises provisions concerning the general tax effort of local governmental units which effects the local allocation by: (1) reducing the general tax efforts of local governmental units with per capita income in excess of State per capita income; (2) providing a procedure for determining education taxes; and (3) reducing the adjusted taxes of local governmental units in specified circumstances. Repeals provisions requiring State and local recipients of funds to report to the Secretary of the Treasury and requiring the Secretary to submit local reports to the State governor. Requires independent audits of State and local recipients at least once every two years (currently once every three years). Authorizes the Secretary to waive such requirement in specified circumstances. States that the District of Columbia should be treated as both a county area and the sole unit of local government (currently treated as having no units of local government). Repeals the provision concerning a study of revenue sharing and federalism. Requires an assessment of the fiscal impact on State and local governments of the entitlement payments made under the local Government Fiscal Assistance Act of 1980.
