SECURE Minerals Act of 2026 Securing Essential and Critical U.S....
To establish a Strategic Resilience Reserve of the United States, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB7126, proposes to establish a Strategic Resilience Reserve in the United States to ensure the availability and security of essential and critical minerals. These minerals are vital for various industries, including technology and manufacturing. The bill aims to reduce the country's dependency on foreign sources for these critical resources.
Those who would be affected include industries reliant on critical minerals, government agencies, and potentially consumers if the availability of these resources impacts product prices or availability. The bill could also influence international trade and diplomatic relations with countries that are significant producers of these minerals.
HB7126 was introduced on January 15, 2026, and has since been referred to the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources for further consideration. Recent actions include a hearing held on February 24, 2026, where the bill was discussed in detail. The legislative process is ongoing as the subcommittee examines the bill's provisions and implications.
