Summary

Coal Miner Environmental Impact Assistance Act of 1999 - Directs the Governor of a State with an approved abandoned mine reclamation program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to establish a program to provide for the employment of coal miners who have been laid off owing to application of environmental laws or regulations, policy directives, or court orders directly relating to coal mining. Preempts State law in contradiction of this Act unless the Secretary of the Interior concurs with a certification forwarded by a State Governor that conditions exist which do not warrant establishment of such a program.
