What this bill does
This bill, the Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act, would direct the Department of Commerce to conduct a study. The study's purpose is to identify products crucial for critical infrastructure sectors that are currently imported because of manufacturing, material, or supply chain limitations in the U.S. It would also analyze the costs, benefits, and overall feasibility of producing these identified products domestically.
The study would specifically examine the impact of domestic manufacturing on jobs, employment rates, labor conditions, and the cost of these products. It would also investigate potential locations for such manufacturing, including rural areas and industrial parks. The findings and recommendations would be reported to Congress and made available to the public.
Having passed both the House and the Senate, the bill now awaits the President's action. If enacted, the Secretary of Commerce would have one year from the enactment date to complete the study and 18 months to submit the report to Congress.
