Authorize mining of federal minerals in accordance with the Bull Mountains mining plan.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The bill S. 362 reached the Senate floor calendar on February 10, 2026, but it has seen no further action since that date. The Senate must now schedule a floor vote to move the mining plan forward. While reaching the floor is a significant step that most bills fail to achieve, floor time is limited and depends on decisions made by Senate leadership.
