Government would study making vital products in the U.S. to boost jobs and secure supplies.
This bill would ask the Department of Commerce to study if key products for things like power grids and water systems could be made in the U.S. instead of bought from other countries. This study would check how it could create jobs and change costs. The main goal is to find ways to make U.S. manufacturing and supply chains stronger.
Today, there is no specific federal requirement for the Department of Commerce to study making critical infrastructure products in the U.S. After this bill, the Department of Commerce would be required to conduct such a study within one year and submit a public report to Congress within 18 months, detailing potential domestic manufacturing opportunities and their impacts.
