If this bill were to become law, it would introduce new language urging the President of the United States, Congress, the Department of the Interior, and the Bureau of Land Management to streamline access to minerals on federal land withdrawals. This insertion aims to facilitate easier access to subsurface minerals for states, which is a significant change from the current statutes that do not specifically address this issue.
The bill does not delete any existing language from current law but adds a concurrent memorial that emphasizes the need for federal entities to work collaboratively with state governments to improve access to mineral resources. This update reflects a shift in policy focus towards enhancing state rights and interests regarding subsurface mineral rights on federal lands.
