Law

Unlikely to pass

Most bills that only request a study do not get much attention unless they are part of a larger package. This bill has been referred to a committee but currently lacks broad support.

Key Points

This bill directs a government watchdog to study how the United States buys and stores parts that take a long time to build. These parts are essential for national defense and emergencies.
The study focuses on items that require early funding because they take so long to design and make. Getting these parts early helps finish big projects on time.
The report will look for ways that different government agencies can work together better. This aims to prevent shortages of critical supplies.
The watchdog agency has one year to finish the study and give Congress advice on how to improve the law.
