Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Bill 119 s 789, also known as the Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to address the issue of the United States' reliance on foreign sources for critical minerals and rare earth elements.
