Bill > HR2685

This bill, the "Technology Grants to Strengthen Domestic Mining Education Act of 2024" or the "Mining Schools Act of 2024," requires the Secretary of Energy to establish a grant program to strengthen domestic mining education. The bill defines key terms like "mining industry," "mining profession," and "mining school," and outlines the grant program, including the selection requirements, the role of the Mining Professional Development Advisory Board, and the permitted uses of the grant funds. The bill also repeals the Mining and Mineral Resources Research Institute Act of 1984 and states that no additional funds are authorized to carry out the requirements of this Act, with the activities subject to the availability of appropriations.
