Bill Summary
A BILL To codify certain Executive Orders relating to critical minerals.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Securing America's Mineral Supply Act (SAMS) of 2025, seeks to codify five specific Executive Orders related to critical minerals, effectively transforming them from executive directives into legally binding statutes. These Executive Orders cover various aspects of mineral supply and national security, including developing a federal strategy to ensure secure and reliable supplies of critical minerals, addressing supply chain threats from foreign adversaries, supporting domestic mining and processing industries, unleashing American energy production, and taking measures to increase American mineral production. By codifying these orders into law, the bill aims to provide a more permanent framework for managing and securing critical mineral resources, reducing dependence on foreign suppliers, and strengthening the domestic mineral industry. Critical minerals are typically defined as rare earth elements and other minerals essential for advanced technologies, national defense, and economic competitiveness, and this bill represents a legislative effort to formalize existing executive-level policies surrounding their procurement and production.
