Intergovernmental Critical Minerals Task Force Act
This bill establishes a federal task force to address U.S. reliance on countries like China for critical minerals essential to technology, renewable energy, defense, and infrastructure. The task force, composed of federal agency representatives and stakeholders, will assess supply chain risks, recommend domestic mining and processing solutions, and reduce dependence on "covered countries" (including China). It must report to Congress within two years with findings and strategies, including recommendations for domestic production, workforce development, and international partnerships. The task force operates without new funding and requires consultation with states, tribes, and industry throughout its work.
