Bill overview
This bill, the United States Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Act, directs the State Department to develop a strategy to combat illicit gold mining in the Western Hemisphere, particularly artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The strategy will focus on disrupting links between ASM and criminal organizations, deterring mining in protected areas, building law enforcement capacity, and supporting responsible gold trade. It also establishes a public-private partnership to improve transparency and traceability in the international gold trade, alongside provisions for addressing illicit gold mining in Venezuela and leveraging international support.
