“On agreeing to the Rules amendment (A001) Agreed to without objection.”
This amendment replaces the original version of the mining bill with a revised version suggested by the House Natural Resources Committee. It acts as a total rewrite to ensure the bill includes specific changes and updates negotiated by the committee before the full House of Representatives voted on it.
