I haven't read it yet, but wanted to share for discussion since it was introduced this week: HB-1301 CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF WATER QUALITY FROM ADVERSE IMPACTS CAUSED BY MINERAL MINING

Thanks for posting this Eric! I notice that it seems to make it more difficult to bond for reclamation.

QUOTE
Current law allows a mining permittee to submit an audited
financial statement as proof that the operator has sufficient funds to meet
its reclamation liabilities in lieu of a bond or other financial assurance.
Section 2 eliminates this self-bonding option and also requires that all
reclamation bonds include financial assurances in an amount sufficient to
protect water quality, including costs for any necessary treatment and
monitoring costs.
