Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act
Refreshed 2 h ago
Introduced 2025-05-22Topic: economy jobsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to study, within one year, products used to build, maintain, run, or restore the 16 federally designated critical infrastructure sectors that are in high demand and are imported because of U.S. manufacturing or supply chain limits. The study would weigh the costs and benefits of making those products in the United States, including effects on jobs and product prices, and look at whether they could be made in rural areas or industrial parks. It would also identify federal rules that may raise costs or create barriers to U.S. manufacturing of these products. Within 18 months, the Secretary would send a report with recommendations to Congress and post the unclassified version on the Commerce Department website. The bill does not give the Secretary power to force anyone to provide information.
