Bill > HR1599

This bill, titled the "Securing America's Critical Minerals Supply Act," aims to amend the Department of Energy Organization Act to ensure an adequate and reliable supply of critical energy resources, which are defined as any energy resource that is essential to the energy sector and energy systems of the United States and has a supply chain vulnerable to disruption. The bill requires the Secretary of Energy to conduct ongoing assessments of energy resource criticality, the critical energy resource supply chain, and its vulnerability, and to take actions to strengthen these supply chains, develop substitutes and alternatives, and improve technology for reusing and recycling critical energy resources. The bill also requires the evaluation of how the energy security of the United States is affected by its reliance on importing critical energy resources.
