Montana Supreme Court voids 1953 oil gas leasing law
Montana Supreme Court nullified the 1953 act allowing perpetual oil and gas leases on state lands saying it conflicts with the Federal Enabling Act. The ruling returns leasing authority to the State Land Board under the old 20 year terms with rebids, potentially prompting US Supreme Court review.
