S 3596 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Mineral Leasing Act to amend references of gilsonite to asphaltite.

This bill updates the Mineral Leasing Act by replacing the term "gilsonite" with "asphaltite" in several specific sections of the law. It affects how federal mineral leasing regulations reference this naturally occurring asphalt-like substance. The change is purely terminological, correcting outdated language to align with current scientific classification. No new regulations or policy changes are introduced - only the legal terminology is updated.
