CHARM Act

Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL)

15 September 2026 | Passed House (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency to develop and implement a national strategy for recovering critical minerals—materials essential to U.S. economic and national security that currently come from vulnerable supply chains—from discarded waste materials. It would also mandate that the EPA report to Congress every two years on its progress, plans, and recommendations related to this recovery strategy.
