AN ACT relating to natural resources.

Summary

The bill amends state law to require the Energy and Environment Cabinet to issue regulations that define when a surface‑mining permit holder remains responsible for reclaimed land that is later disturbed by parties or forces beyond its control, such as natural events, oil and gas work, logging, off‑road vehicles, or trespassers. It also mandates the cabinet to set up a procedure for moving that reclamation responsibility to another party that will use the land after mining.
