JFAC adds reporting language for Office of Energy and Mineral Resources’ Speed Council
Summary
Committee adopted language requiring the Office of Energy and Mineral Resources to submit a report by Dec. 1, 2025 detailing use of funds, measurable actions, findings and planned projects for the Speed Council to support future funding decisions.
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee adopted language to be added to a motion concerning the Office of Energy and Mineral Resources (OEMR) that requires the agency to report on use of funds and activities of the newly created Speed Council.
Committee staff described the language as stipulating that OEMR provide a report detailing how monies were used, measurable actions and findings, and an overview of planned, completed and ongoing projects supported by the council by Dec. 1, 2025. The language also requires OEMR to justify continued funding of the council to aid future legislative decision making. The committee recorded unanimous consent to accept the language and ordered it included when the motion is transmitted to the Senate.
Ending: OEMR must file the specified report by Dec. 1, 2025; the committee treated the language as an addition to a previously passed motion rather than a new funding vote.
