The Crow Revenue Act transfers approximately 4,660 acres of mineral rights in Big Horn County, Montana to the Crow Tribe of Montana by facilitating an exchange of land interests. Under the bill, the Hope Family Trust will convey its mineral rights to the Tribe, while the federal government will transfer approximately 4,530 acres of subsurface mineral interests and 940 acres of surface land in the Bull Mountains to the Hope Family Trust as compensation. The transfer must be completed within 60 days of the bill's enactment, and the mineral interests conveyed to the Tribe will be held in trust by the federal government and exempt from state taxation. The legislation includes a requirement that the Tribe and Hope Family Trust agree on a revenue-sharing formula if the mineral interests are developed in the future, and it ensures that these transfers will not reduce any existing federal benefits or services to which the Tribe or its members are entitled.
