Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025
What does the Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025 do?
HR 755 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ). Changes federal law so materials the Energy Department designates as 'critical materials' are also treated as 'critical minerals,' and requires the official list to be updated quickly. Amends the Energy Act of 2020 to fold 'critical materials' into the definition of 'critical mineral' and requires the list to be updated within 45 days of a new designation.
