Restoring State Mineral Revenues Act
This bill eliminates an administrative fee under the Mineral Leasing Act that previously applied to mineral leasing on federal lands. It directly affects mineral lessees (such as oil, gas, and mining companies) who paid this fee to the federal government. The bill achieves this by removing subsection (b) from Section 35 of the Mineral Leasing Act and making minor technical adjustments to related provisions in other laws to reflect the fee's removal. No new revenue streams or policy changes are created - only the existing fee is deleted.
