Cooperative Management of Mineral Rights Act of 2017
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the House without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 115th Congress ended.

(Sec. 2) This bill repeals provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 that require: (1) the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide 60 days' advance notice before commencing surface-disturbing activities related to the development of oil and gas deposits on certain land within the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania; and (2) persons who propose to develop oil and gas deposits on such lands to either permit USDA to market merchantable timber owned by the United States on the land subject to such activities or arrange to purchase merchantable timber on that land from USDA, or otherwise arrange for the disposition of such timber, upon such terms as USDA may accept.
