What This Bill Does
This proposed amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act aims to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain by leveraging the Department of Commerce's '' program. It requires the government to coordinate with state-level economic development organizations to attract foreign investment in semiconductor manufacturing while preventing foreign adversaries from benefiting from these efforts.
