Summary

Palmetto Bend Conveyance Act - Directs the Secretary of the Interior, on receipt of payment in accordance with this Act, to convey the Palmetto Bend Reclamation Project in Texas (excluding the mineral estate) to the State of Texas, acting through the Texas Water Development Board and/or the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority. Requires the Secretary: (1) to expeditiously complete the conveyance, including such actions as may be required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; and (2) if the conveyance is completed later than one year and 180 days after the enactment date of this Act, to report to the House Committee on Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on the conveyance's status, any obstacles to completion, and the anticipated completion date. Directs the State, as a condition of the conveyance, to pay $48 million to the Secretary. Extinguishes the State's obligation under a specified Bureau of Reclamation contract on payment of such amount. Requires: (1) the land, water, facilities, and mineral estate of the Project to continue to be managed by the State and operated for ensuring the implementation of fish, wildlife, and recreational activities; and (2) all mineral interests in the Project retained by the United States on completion of the conveyance to be subject to continued use by the State for the purposes for which it was authorized. Permits the Project's surface estate to be used for exploration, development, or oil, gas, or mineral production on approval by the State.
