Government would keep power to direct industries for national defense
This bill would let the U.S. government continue using a law called the Defense Production Act until September 30, 2031. This law gives the government special powers to make sure the country has what it needs for national defense and emergencies. Without this bill, that power would end in 2025.
Currently, the government's power to use the Defense Production Act of 1950 is set to end on September 30, 2025. If this bill becomes law, that power would instead continue until September 30, 2031.
