Mining Regulatory Clarity Act

What this bill does

  • This bill allows mining companies to use federal lands for waste disposal and other mining-related activities without proving the land contains valuable minerals.
  • Mining operators and the Department of Interior are affected, along with communities near abandoned mines.
  • Revenue from mining fees goes into a new fund that pays for cleaning up abandoned hardrock mines.
