Relating to strategic and critical resources, state preemption of local regulation, and foreign ownership and restricted commerce entities

Summary

The bill establishes the Strategic and Critical Resources Act, which sets statewide rules for mining and processing a long list of minerals deemed vital to national security. It stops counties and cities from adding their own restrictions, and bars owners tied to foreign adversaries or sanctioned entities from holding or operating those resource sites. The goal is to ensure a reliable domestic supply of these materials.
