Intergovernmental Critical Minerals Task Force Act
Latest action. Held at the desk.
Intergovernmental Critical Minerals Task Force Act
This bill directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish a task force to facilitate cooperation, coordination, and mutual accountability among each level of the federal government and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments on a holistic response to the dependence on covered countries for critical minerals across the United States.
Covered country includes any country determined by the task force to be a geostrategic competitor or adversary of the United States with respect to critical minerals.
The bill specifies duties for the task force, including
addressing the homeland and national security risks associated with the current critical mineral supply chains of the United States;
identifying a list of critical minerals most important for securing U.S. homeland and national security; and
providing recommendations addressing research and development, mining, and strengthening the domestic workforce to support, and improving partnerships with allied countries to improve, critical mineral supply chains.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on September 19, 2024: Held at the desk.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 118th Congress (2023-24), 274 of the 16,565 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 1.7 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
Gary Peters (D-MI) introduced it on June 8, 2023, and 3 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They are 2 Republicans, 1 independent.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on June 8, 2023, 1190 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 721 days ago, on September 19, 2024.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 118th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2025 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
