Crow Revenue Act

This bill, titled the Crow Revenue Act, aims to take specific mineral interests into trust for the benefit of the Crow Tribe of Montana . It mandates a single transaction within 60 days of enactment, involving the relinquishment of the Bull Mountains Lease by its lessee and subsequent conveyances of mineral interests. Specifically, the Hope Family Trust will convey its mineral interests in the Hope Family Tracts to the Crow Tribe. Concurrently, the Secretary of the Interior will convey all U.S. right, title, and interest in the mineral and surface interests of the Bull Mountains Tracts to the Hope Family Trust, subject to valid existing rights and the relinquishment of the Bull Mountains Lease. Upon the Tribe's request, the mineral interests received from the Hope Family Trust will be held in trust by the United States for the Tribe's benefit. These trust lands will be explicitly exempt from State taxation , including by any political subdivision. Before these conveyances, the Tribe must notify the Secretary in writing that it has agreed with the Hope Family Trust on a formula for sharing revenue from any future development of the Bull Mountains Tracts. Pending the exchange, the tracts involved will be temporarily withdrawn from various public land laws, mining laws, and mineral leasing operations. Finally, the bill ensures that any benefits or amounts provided to the Crow Tribe under this Act will not lead to a reduction or denial of other Federal services, benefits, or programs for which the Tribe or its members are otherwise eligible due to their federally recognized status.
