The bill was introduced by Rep. Amodei and states it is intended to require federal agencies to more efficiently develop domestic sources of strategic and critical minerals, vital to job creation, energy infrastructure, and national security, while limiting the total permitting review process to 30 months.

Amodei's office said the House passed his Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2024, which would allow mine operations to use, occupy, and conduct operations on public land regardless of whether a mineral deposit has been discovered, and said the bill would increase domestic mineral production and help vital mining projects move forward.

Amodei said the bill reverses the Rosemont decision, removes excess red tape, and restores clarity for critical mining projects to move forward; the release also says mineral production is critical to Nevada's economy and America's energy and technology needs.

The House Natural Resources Committee said the House passed H.R. 1366, the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2025, sponsored by Rep. Mark Amodei. The release said the bill restores regulatory clarity and stability for mining projects, encourages domestic mineral production, repairs a permitting process undermined by the Rosemont decision, and gives domestic mining operations certainty to compete.

The House Clerk recorded H.R. 4776, the SPEED Act, as passed on Dec. 18, 2025, 221-196. The roll call lists Amodei (NV), Republican, as voting Yea. The measure was a permitting bill considered under H. Res. 951 to clarify NEPA provisions and facilitate a more efficient, effective, and timely environmental review process.
Assessments
Amodei promised to support policies expanding domestic energy or mineral production, improving permitting, and creating jobs. In federal office, he sponsored the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act, which passed the House in both 2024 and 2025 and was framed as restoring permitting clarity and encouraging domestic mineral production. He also voted for the House-passed SPEED Act permitting reform bill. Because the promise was to support and advance such policies, not necessarily single-handedly enact a final law, these House-passed sponsored and supported measures are sufficient for delivery in the same federal term context.
The promise was framed as supporting policies to expand domestic energy/mineral production, improve permitting, and create jobs, not as guaranteeing final enactment. In federal House context, Amodei took concrete same-term actions matching the pledge: he sponsored and reintroduced permitting and critical-minerals bills, tied them explicitly to domestic production and jobs, and materially advanced H.R. 2925 through House passage in 2024. The record supports fulfillment of the support-and-advance commitment even though the cited measures did not become law.
The promise was framed as supporting policies, not guaranteeing enactment of a specific energy law. Amodei repeatedly sponsored and backed legislation aimed at expanding domestic mineral and energy-related production, streamlining permitting, and linking those changes to jobs, including H.R. 2925 passing the House in 2024 and related measures in earlier and current terms. Even where bills did not become law, the available record shows he carried out the promised policy support.
