Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill updates regulations for mining operations in Iowa, excluding coal mining. It defines "subsidence" as land sinking due to underground mining on public land or rights-of-way and requires mine operators to report and submit repair plans for such events. The bill also clarifies that bond money posted by operators can only be used for reclaiming the specific mine sites listed on the bond forms.
