Bill overview
This bill, the United States Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Act, aims to combat illicit gold mining in the Western Hemisphere by establishing a multi-year strategy. It directs the State Department to develop a comprehensive approach, focusing on disrupting illicit networks, deterring mining in protected areas, and building capacity in foreign law enforcement. The bill also requires the Agency for International Development to create a public-private partnership to improve transparency and traceability in the international gold trade, particularly in countries like Nicaragua and Venezuela.
