Latest action (23 Jul 2026): Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Education and Workforce, Financial Services, and Agriculture, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
What this bill does
The American Manufacturing Renaissance Act, introduced by Rep. Jan Schakowsky with Rep. Ro Khanna, would create a nonprofit corporation within the Department of Commerce tasked with developing and updating a national manufacturing strategy every four years. That strategy would set goals such as increasing manufacturing's share of GDP, reducing sector emissions, expanding ownership diversity and employee ownership, and closing skills gaps. The corporation would be governed by a Board of Directors including several Cabinet secretaries, White House officials, and presidentially appointed representatives from labor, education, business, faith, racial-justice, and environmental groups.
To carry out the strategy, the corporation would establish up to 30 local "Manufacturing Renaissance Councils" (MRCs) through a competitive process. Each MRC would have a multi-stakeholder governing board—including labor, education, local government, industry, and economic-development representatives—and would design programs covering workforce training, technical assistance, capital access, business succession and ownership transitions, education pipelines, and supportive "wraparound" services. Funding would flow through grants to MRCs and technical-assistance grants to help communities apply. The bill affects manufacturers, workers, educational institutions, community organizations, and local governments involved in regional manufacturing planning.
The bill was introduced on July 23, 2026, and referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce, Education and Workforce, Financial Services, and Agriculture. It has not yet received committee action, hearings, or a floor vote, and its future consideration depends on further committee and congressional action.
