The House Minerals Committee heard and amended House Bill 120, the Energy Production Reclassification and Sovereignty Act, which would create industrial "sovereign" zones to incentivize in-state conversion of natural resources into higher‑value products; the committee also advanced House Bill 43 (anti‑money‑laundering) with amendments. Votes on both bills were recorded as committee 'do pass with amendments.'
