H.R. 1501: Protecting Domestic Mining Act of 2025
Sponsor
Jefferson Shreve
Republican · IN-6
What H.R. 1501 does
H.R. 1501, the Protecting Domestic Mining Act of 2025, would permanently make certain mining infrastructure projects eligible for expedited environmental review under the FAST Act. This would write into statute authority that a January 8, 2021 rule from the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council already provided.
The bill would also bar the Council from finalizing its September 22, 2023 proposed rule, which would limit the expedited process to critical minerals mining projects.
