This bill, known as the "EO 14285 Act of 2025," aims to codify Executive Order 14285 , titled "Unleashing America's Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources." The primary purpose is to grant this executive order the full force and effect of law , making its provisions permanent. Specifically, the legislation dictates that Executive Order 14285, which addresses seabed mineral resource development , will transition from an executive directive to a statutory requirement. This move ensures the enduring implementation of policies related to the exploration and extraction of critical minerals from offshore areas.
