Securing America’s Critical Minerals Supply Act
MechanismRefined critical minerals are inputs to semiconductor fabrication and to the power equipment a data centre runs on, so a bill aimed at securing their supply is aimed at the availability of those inputs.
So whatA Critical Minerals Supply Act sat on the House calendar for the week of 2026-02-09, listed under a rule. The same materials it names are the ones a proclamation and an executive order in this archive also reach.
Scheduled for a votescheduled, and the House can revise it
The House published this measure on the schedule for the week of 9 February 2026. That is a week the House said it may take the measure up, not a date it did. The schedule gets revised, and weeks in this archive have been withdrawn outright.
The text the House posted at docs.house.gov ↗Selection rule: Every measure on the House floor schedule read against the sector rule. The calendar carries a bill title and the week it may come up, and nothing else, so a bill reaches this page only when the title states enough to name a route.
