Law

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.
