Relates to permits and financial security for reclamation for mining on state-owned lands occurring below or beneath navigable waters; repealer

Summary

The bill adds new rules that any person mining more than a set amount, especially on state-owned land beneath navigable waterways, must obtain a permit and provide a 30‑year monitoring plan. Local governments can set conditions such as setbacks and dust control, and the state department must incorporate reasonable local determinations. Permits are renewable but may be treated as new applications if recent environmental reviews are missing.
