The Phosphate and Potash Protection Act of 2024 asks someone very important in the government to check if some important minerals, like potash and phosphates, should be called "critical" because they're needed for making plant food. They have to decide quickly and tell others in the government what they found out.

The bill S. 3956 is about adding two important minerals, called phosphate and potash, to a special list because they are needed for making things and keeping the country safe. It also asks a department to check how we can produce more of these minerals in the country without waiting too long.

H.R. 8450 is a plan asking an important leader to decide if minerals like potash and phosphate, which help plants grow, should be called "critical" for the country. This means they would be extra important to keep track of and make sure we have enough of them.
