A proposed law aims to increase state control over the mining of strategic and radioactive minerals. The draft legislation introduces stricter regulations governing all stages of the mining process, from initial exploration to licensing and royalty payments. These changes seek to ensure greater oversight of an industry deemed critical for national interests. The bill focuses on radioactive mineral mining specifically, indicating a heightened concern regarding its potential environmental and safety impacts. Industry stakeholders are likely to face increased compliance costs and scrutiny under the proposed rules. Supporters argue the legislation is necessary to protect state resources and public health, while opponents may raise concerns about hindering economic development. The legislation is currently under review and debate.
