What this bill does

The bill changes Utah's rules for mining and critical infrastructure materials operations that were already running before newer local land-use restrictions took effect, making the critical infrastructure rules more like the mining rules. It also changes how operations on newly acquired land are treated, adjusts key dates, and repeals a study requirement.
