/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The House passed a bill to reestablish the National Coal Council, and the Senate has received it. The Senate read the bill twice and referred it to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Why it matters: This is a procedural step in the legislative process. The bill is not law. It is now sitting in a Senate committee, where it may be debated, amended, or ignored. If it passes, it gives the President a formal channel to receive advice from the coal sector, but it does not force the President to act on that advice.
Who it affects
- Coal industry executives and producers
