National Critical Minerals Council Act

This bill would create a National Critical Minerals Council in the Executive Office of the President. The council would be co-chaired by the Secretary of Energy, the National Security Advisor, and the Director of the National Economic Council, and would include representatives from 18 federal agencies and offices. Within 180 days, the co-chairs would name a Chief Minerals Advisor to run the council. The council would coordinate federal policy on critical minerals, track mining investments by China and other foreign entities of concern, and keep a public online dashboard of projects. Within one year, the advisor would send Congress a national critical minerals strategy and implementation plan, followed by yearly progress briefings.
