Intergovernmental Critical Minerals Task Force Act

HR 7807 creates a federal task force to address U.S. reliance on foreign sources for critical minerals essential to national security, technology, and defense. The task force, established within 90 days, will coordinate across federal agencies, state/local governments, and tribal nations to assess supply chain vulnerabilities - particularly dependence on countries like China - and recommend strategies to boost domestic mining, processing, and international partnerships. It requires regular reports to Congress, including a final report within two years, and mandates consultation with industry stakeholders and environmental experts. The bill directly affects federal departments (like Defense and Energy), state/local governments, tribal nations, and the mining industry, aiming to secure supply chains without immediate regulatory changes.
