Summary
Starting January 23, 2026, the government is cleaning up old rules about special funds given to States and Tribes for mining programs. They’re removing outdated references and canceling a schedule that ended years ago, so the money rules are clearer and simpler. This update mainly affects States and Tribes involved in mining programs, with no new money changes but a smoother process ahead.
