S. 3596 proposes an amendment to the Mineral Leasing Act. It aims to replace all mentions of "gilsonite" with "asphaltite" in the Act. The bill has been introduced, read twice, referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and reported without amendment.
Simple Explanation
S. 3596 wants to change a word in a big rule about digging minerals, swapping "gilsonite" for "asphaltite," but it doesn’t explain why this change is needed.
