EO 14285 Act of 2025

House Votes

This bill would turn Executive Order 14285 into law. The order deals with seabed mineral resource development. By “codifying” it, the bill says the executive order would have the same force and effect as a law passed by Congress, rather than a policy a future president could easily change.

Key points:

• What changes: Executive Order 14285, about seabed mineral resource development, would become law and stay in place unless Congress changes it later.
• Who is affected: People, companies, and federal agencies involved with seabed mineral resource development.
• When: It would apply if and when this bill becomes law.
