Daines, Sheehy Bill to Support Crow Tribe and Montana Miners Passes Senate Indian Affairs Committee

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy today announced their bill, the “Crow Revenue Act,” passed the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The bill would provide new revenue to the Crow Tribe, ensure the longevity of the Bull Mountains Mine, help fix long-standing inholdings on the Crow Reservation, and increase access to public lands in the Bull Mountains. “The Crow Revenue Act is a huge win for the Crow Tribe, Roundup and the surrounding communities. This bill helps the Tribe receive new revenue, supports our miners, and keeps the Roundup community’s economy thriving. I’m thrilled to see that it passed committee and is one step closer to becoming law,” said Daines. “By resolving long-standing mineral ownership issues, the Crow Revenue Act creates a new stable source of revenue for the Crow Tribe, preserves Montana mining jobs, and expands public access to public lands. This legislation is the kind of practical, commonsense approach we need to support local communities, jobs, our economy, and our state’s energy future, and I’m glad to see it move through committee,” said Sheehy.
