What this bill does
- The bill expands the definition of critical minerals to include materials designated by the Department of Energy.
- The U.S. Geological Survey must add these materials to its critical minerals list within 45 days of DOE designation.
- This creates a unified federal list to better manage supply chains for minerals essential to national security and the economy.
