Which states have a dormant mineral statute/act in place? I’m specifically interested in whether or not Mississippi has this, but really a full list would be very helpful. Thanks! ---

I am aware that Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Louisiana, Indiana, Maryland, North Dakota, South Dakota, California, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma?, Oregon and Washington have some form of a dormant mineral act. > **[3-Reuniting.pdf](https://buddfalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/3-Reuniting.pdf)** > > 32.03 KB ---

Oklahoma does not have a dormant mineral act. ---

I didn’t think so, but it was listed in the article, so I put a question mark. Is there a total list that would help Danna? ---

I have seen a list, but, of course, I can’t find it now. Based on what I know, I think you’ve hit all the ones I’m aware of. ---
