Plain-English Summary

The federal government would establish a task force bringing together officials from multiple agencies to coordinate efforts on securing and developing critical minerals needed for national defense, clean energy, and technology. The task force would work to reduce America's dependence on foreign sources for minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths by identifying domestic supplies and improving mining and processing capabilities. This affects manufacturers, mining companies, energy producers, and consumers who rely on products containing these minerals.
