What This Bill Does
This amendment proposes the creation of a National Manufacturing Advisory Council within the Department of Commerce to advise the federal government on manufacturing trends, workforce training, and supply chain issues. The council would be composed of up to 30 members from industry, academia, and labor, and would be required to produce an annual national strategic plan for the manufacturing sector.
If enacted, this amendment would establish a new federal advisory body to influence manufacturing policy and workforce training programs without authorizing any new federal spending.
