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.\n\n\u201cThe 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\u2019s economy thriving. I\u2019m thrilled to see that it passed committee and is one step closer to becoming law,\u201d said Daines.\n\n\u201cBy 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\u2019s energy future, and I\u2019m glad to see it move through committee,\u201d said Sheehy.\n\nRead the full bill text HERE.\n\nBackground:\n\nDaines first introduced the \u201cCrow Revenue Act\u201d in May 2024- read the release HERE and a one-pager on the bill HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-06T07:37:31Z", "2026-08-06T07:38:34Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.daines.senate.gov/2026/08/05/daines-sheehy-bill-to-support-crow-tribe-and-montana-miners-passes-senate-indian-affairs-committee/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9189820848405361, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
