modify the authority of a political subdivision to adopt mining ordinances.
Deferred to the 41st legislative day
Summary
The bill permits counties and first‑ or second‑class municipalities with a comprehensive plan to create ordinances governing sand, gravel and aggregate mining, provided they do not conflict with state law. It requires the state Board of Minerals and Environment to consider those local rules before issuing a mining permit and allows conditional permits when local approvals are delayed. It also sets a uniform $100 annual license fee per mine site and bars local governments from demanding extra bonds beyond state requirements.
