Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act
Critical Infrastructure: Study on Domestic Manufacturing
The Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act has passed the Senate and is currently waiting at the desk for further action. It is actively moving through the legislative process. There are no companion bills currently listed for this legislation.
Legislative Progress
The bill has already passed the Senate with broad support. Strengthening domestic supply chains is a popular goal for both parties in the House of Representatives as well.
Key Points
- This bill requires the Commerce Department to find products needed for 16 critical industries, such as power and water, that are currently bought from other countries. The goal is to see which of these items could be made within the United States instead of being imported.
- The government will analyze how making these items at home would affect the American workforce. This includes looking at potential new jobs, changes in pay or working conditions, and whether domestic production would make the final products more or less expensive for the public.
- The study will specifically look at the possibility of building new factories in rural areas and industrial parks. It will also identify any current federal laws or regulations that make it too difficult or costly for companies to start manufacturing these products in the U.S.
- A final report must be given to Congress and posted online within 18 months. This report will include specific recommendations on how to help American companies start making these essential goods to ensure the country is not dependent on foreign supply chains during a crisis.
