                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  Mr. Moolenaar (for himself and Mr. Khanna) introduced the following 
      bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means

_______________________________________________________________________

                                 A BILL

 
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to incentivize the domestic 
    production and use of permanent magnets, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Magnets Value Chain Support Act of 
2026''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States is strategically dependent on foreign 
        sources--principally the People's Republic of China--for magnet 
        metals and permanent magnets used in electric motors, 
        generators, robotics, industrial machinery, advanced 
        electronics, and national defense systems.
            (2) In 2025, a Select Committee on China investigation 
        found that the PRC government engaged in a decades-long 
        strategy to dominate the rare earth supply chain.
            (3) Domestic metallization and magnet-manufacturing 
        capabilities have atrophied and require targeted, market-
        oriented incentives to restore competitive production and 
        reduce foreign dependence.
            (4) Motors, generators, robotics, and high-performance 
        electronics constitute the majority of global permanent magnet 
        demand and are essential to the economic and national security 
        of the United States.
            (5) Reshoring the magnet supply chain requires both 
        upstream incentives for magnet metal and permanent magnet 
        production, and downstream incentives for the adoption of such 
        materials by industrial, energy, automotive, aerospace, and 
        electronics manufacturers.
            (6) Competitive market incentives are necessary to counter 
        non-market foreign production and to strengthen the domestic 
        industrial base.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF MAGNET VALUE CHAIN SUPPORT CREDIT.

    (a) In General.--Subpart D of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end 
the following new section:

``SEC. 45BB. MAGNET VALUE CHAIN SUPPORT CREDIT.

    ``(a) Allowance of Credit.--For purposes of section 38, the magnet 
value chain support credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to 
the sum of--

            ``(2) the magnet metal production credit, plus
            ``(3) the rare earth oxide production credit.

    (a) In General.--Subpart D of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended by section 3(a)) is 
amended by adding at the end the following new section:

``SEC. 45CC. DOMESTIC MAGNET INPUT USAGE CREDIT.

    ``(a) Allowance of Credit.--For purposes of section 38, the

equal to the applicable percentage of qualified domestic magnet 
expenditures paid or incurred by the taxpayer during such taxable year 
in connection with the manufacture of a covered product in the United 
States.
    ``(b) Applicable Percentage.--For purposes of this section, the 
applicable percentage with respect to any qualified domestic magnet 
expenditures paid or incurred during any taxable year is an amount 
equal to--
            ``(1) 15 percent, in the case of such expenditures being 
        paid or incurred in taxable years beginning before January 1, 
        2035,
            ``(2) 10 percent, in the case of such expenditures being 
        paid or incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 
        2034, and ending before January 1, 2037, and
            ``(3) 5 percent, in the case of such expenditures being 
        paid or incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 
        2036, and ending before January 1, 2039.
    ``(c) Qualified Domestic Magnet Expenditures.--
            ``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term 
        `qualified domestic magnet expenditures' means any amounts paid 
        or incurred by the taxpayer to an unrelated person for 
        qualified permanent magnets (as defined in section 
        45BB(c)(1)(A)) which--
                    ``(A) are manufactured (as defined in section 
                45BB(c)(1)(G)) in the United States,
                    ``(B) are not sourced from a prohibited foreign 
                entity, and
                    ``(C) are substantiated (by documentation 
                maintained by the taxpayer to the extent sufficient to 
                support the credit claimed under this section) with 
                respect to purchase price, supplier identity, quantity, 
                and country of production.
            ``(2) Anti-manipulation rule.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1), the purchase price used to calculate qualified domestic 
        magnet expenditures shall not exceed the arm's-length price for 
        qualified permanent magnets, as determined under principles 
        consistent with section 482. The Secretary shall prescribe 
        regulations establishing safe harbors for arm's-length pricing 
        of domestic permanent magnets, including by reference to 
        published benchmark prices where available.
    ``(d) Election and Non-Duplication.--A taxpayer shall not claim a 
credit under this section for any qualified domestic magnet expenditure 
for which a deduction has otherwise been taken under this chapter. The 
Secretary shall prescribe regulations to prevent any double recovery of 
the same cost under both credits with respect to the same quantity of 
magnet material.

                supply-chain resilience, or national security.
    ``(f) Other Definitions.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
section, terms used in this section which are also used in section 45BB 
shall have the same meaning as when used in such section.
    ``(g) Prohibited Foreign Entity Restriction.--No credit shall be

or precursor material input used in the covered product was 
manufactured by a prohibited foreign entity.
