S.B. No. 1147 is a legislative act that facilitates the withdrawal of the State of Texas from the Interstate Mining Compact. The bill mandates that the governor must provide written notice of this withdrawal to the governors of all other states that are parties to the compact and publish the notice in the Texas Register. This withdrawal is authorized under Section 132.002 of the Natural Resources Code and Article VIII of the compact.

Additionally, the bill outlines that one year after the governor publishes the notice, several entities will be abolished, including the office of the Interstate Mining Compact Commissioner for Texas and the Texas Mining Council. Furthermore, Chapter 132 of the Natural Resources Code will be repealed. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
