A bill to release a Federal reversionary interest and convey mineral interests in Chester County, Tennessee, and for other purposes.

S. 277 would release a federal reversionary interest in land located in Chester County, Tennessee, and convey associated mineral interests. A reversionary interest is a legal claim that allows the federal government to reclaim property under certain conditions; this bill would eliminate that federal claim. The bill would also transfer mineral rights—the rights to extract resources like coal, oil, or other minerals—from federal to private ownership. This action would allow private parties to have full control over both the land and any valuable mineral resources beneath it in the specified Chester County area. The practical effect would be to remove federal government involvement in these property interests and enable private development or resource extraction on the affected land.
