Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SCR 9 highlights the urgent need for the United States to secure a domestic supply of critical minerals for advanced energy technologies. Notably, it emphasizes Utah's exceptional mineral diversity and its potential leadership role in this sector, supported by its top ranking in mining and accredited educational programs.
