Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act
Critical Infrastructure: Study on U.S. Manufacturing
The House of Representatives passed this bill, and it is now being reviewed by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The bill is actively moving through the legislative process as it awaits further action from the committee. There are no companion bills currently associated with this legislation.
Legislative Progress
This bill already passed the House and focuses on a popular topic like bringing jobs back to the U.S. and securing supply chains.
Key Points
- The Department of Commerce must identify products used in critical systems like power grids and water plants that are currently imported. The goal is to see if these items can be made in America instead of relying on other countries.
- The study will look at how making these products in the U.S. would affect jobs and the prices people pay. It will specifically explore if these factories could be built in rural areas or industrial parks to help local economies.
- Officials have 18 months to finish the report and give recommendations to Congress. This information will also be posted online so the public can see what the government found about our supply chains.
