Who this affects: This bill mainly affects communities near abandoned coal mines, especially places with polluted streams or unsafe mine land. It also affects states that run approved mine cleanup programs, because they would manage the partnerships and take on most legal risk. Nonprofits, local groups, landowners, and other willing partners could get a clearer path to help with cleanup if they meet the bill’s rules.
Why this matters: Old coal mine pollution still affects water, land, and safety in many communities. This bill could bring more groups into cleanup work by reducing legal risk for partners that did not cause the damage. It could also improve water quality if states have enough staff, money, and qualified partners. The 2032 end date may push faster action, but it could also make long-term treatment work harder to plan.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
