Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates a new program at the Department of Commerce to monitor and strengthen supply chains for goods that are critical to national and economic security. The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Analysis gets new responsibilities to map, model, and respond to supply chain disruptions.
• A new interagency working group will be created within 120 days of enactment, bringing together 10 federal agencies including Defense, Homeland Security, Energy, and others. Within one year, this group must assess supply chain vulnerabilities, identify gaps, and evaluate domestic manufacturing capacity.
• The bill targets countries that pose national security or economic security risks, encouraging U.S. companies to stop relying on those nations for critical goods and to relocate factories to the U.S. or to allied countries instead.
• Companies that voluntarily share sensitive supply chain data with the Commerce Department get strong legal protections. Their information will be exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests and cannot be used against them in civil lawsuits without their written consent.
• The bill specifically covers emerging technologies like AI, quantum computing, semiconductors, robotics, blockchain, and advanced materials. It aims to keep the U.S. competitive by securing the supply chains these technologies depend on.
• The program has a 10-year sunset clause and explicitly authorizes no additional funds, meaning it must be carried out with existing Commerce Department resources.
