Crow Revenue Act

What this bill does

The bill authorizes the Department of Interior to accept relinquishment of a federal coal lease at Bull Mountains Mine in Montana.
The Crow Tribe of Montana, a private mineral trust, and the federal government exchange subsurface and surface mineral rights.
The exchanges require the tribe and private trust to agree on revenue-sharing before Interior conveys mineral interests to the trust.
