HB 1141 (2026)

Revise mining permits

This bill is still active.

Summary:

Prohibits the issuance of new large groundwater withdrawal permits for the commercial sale of bottled or bulk water using any percentage of hydrocarbon-derived plastic as a bottling medium.

The House rewrote the bill. The new bill adds definitions for mining-related terms; authorizes rulemaking for permitting,
reclamation, and fees based on mineral volume; and establishes a transition period for pending applications under the current mining permit system.
