Sponsored By: Representative Curtis, John R. [R-UT]

Became Law

Summary

Adds the Department of Health and Human Services to the federal consultation process for designating critical minerals important to healthcare. The law amends section 7002(c) of the Energy Act of 2020 by inserting 'Health and Human Services' after 'Agriculture' so the Secretary of the Interior must consult HHS alongside other agencies when naming critical minerals, elements, substances, and materials.
