EO 14285 Act of 2025
The EO 14285 Act of 2025 codifies Executive Order 14285 into law, making its provisions about seabed mineral resource development legally enforceable as statute rather than an executive directive. This bill directly affects federal agencies managing ocean resources, seabed mining operations, and companies seeking permits for seabed mineral extraction. The key mechanism is the formal conversion of the executive order (90 Fed. Reg. 17735) into binding law, ensuring consistent regulatory authority. It does not alter the order's content but elevates its legal standing, streamlining oversight of seabed mineral activities under statutory authority.
