Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress directs the Commerce Department and the government watchdog to review how the U.S. can attract more foreign investment from “trusted countries.”
- The review looks at where investment creates jobs (especially manufacturing, services, and digital trade) and what policies help keep that investment in the U.S.
- It also focuses on risks from state-backed companies, especially those tied to the Chinese Communist Party, and how to stop them from getting market access or intellectual property.
- Commerce must publish notices and draft findings for public comment before finalizing recommendations, then report to Congress within 1 year of the law taking effect.
- This bill does not change the existing foreign investment screening system; it specifically avoids reviewing those rules.
