Bill > S3915

This bill, also known as the "Mining Schools Act of 2022" or the "Technology Grants to Strengthen Domestic Mining Education Act of 2022," requires the Secretary of Energy to establish a program that awards competitive grants to mining schools to help recruit and educate the next generation of mining engineers and professionals. The grants can be used to support various aspects of mining education, such as mineral extraction efficiency, critical mineral and rare earth element processing, reclamation technology, and the development of new mining technologies. The bill also establishes a Mining Professional Development Advisory Board to evaluate grant applications and provide recommendations to the Secretary on the selection and funding of the grants.
