State Mineral Revenues: Ending a Federal Administrative Fee

Also known as: Restoring State Mineral Revenues Act

Legislative Progress

✓ Filed
Review
Senate
House
President

Key Points

  • Congress would remove a federal administrative fee tied to mineral leasing on federal lands.
  • States that receive a share of oil, gas, coal, and geothermal royalties could keep more of that money instead of it being reduced by the fee.
  • Companies that lease federal minerals may see fewer fee-related charges connected to managing and paying these revenues.
  • The bill also updates related laws to remove cross-references to the deleted fee, so the rules stay consistent.
