Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Critical Mineral Independence Act of 2023 This bill requires the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment within the Department of Defense (DOD) to submit a strategy to develop supply chains for DOD that are not dependent on mining or processing of critical minerals in or by specified countries (e.g., China) in order to achieve critical mineral supply chain independence from such countries by 2035. The strategy must be submitted in classified form but must include an unclassified summary.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill directs the Department of Defense to create a strategy to achieve critical mineral supply chain independence from specified countries like China by 2035.
The strategy must be submitted in classified form with an unclassified summary.
This is aimed at reducing the U.S. military's dependence on critical minerals from other countries, particularly China, in order to bolster national security.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If passed, this bill would impact the U.S. military and defense industry by requiring them to shift their critical mineral supply chains away from certain countries deemed risky or unreliable. This could lead to changes in mining, processing, and procurement practices to ensure a more secure and reliable domestic or allied supply of these essential materials.
