The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 93.001, to officially declare Minnesota as a "mining-friendly state." This designation aims to promote the diversification of the state's mineral economy by emphasizing long-term support for various activities related to mineral exploration, evaluation, environmental research, development, production, and commercialization.

The legal language changes include the insertion of the phrase "Minnesota is a mining-friendly state" into the statute, reinforcing the state's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for mining activities. There are no deletions from the current law in this amendment.
