The bill would create a National Critical Minerals Council in the Executive Office of the President. The council would coordinate federal agencies as they develop and carry out a national strategy for critical minerals and materials. Its goals include supporting domestic supplies, reducing reliance on foreign adversaries, and addressing supply-chain risks.
The council would include representatives from several federal agencies and offices. A Chief Minerals Advisor would manage its daily work and be appointed within 180 days after the bill becomes law. The council would coordinate research, funding, workforce efforts, and information about mineral projects. It would also create a public dashboard to track projects and share data. Within one year, the advisor would send Congress a strategy and implementation plan, then provide annual progress briefings.
The bill would make information about mineral projects and federal funding opportunities available through central online tools. It does not establish a direct benefit or service for individuals.
