Plain-English Summary

This bill directs the federal government to study whether the United States can manufacture critical infrastructure equipment domestically rather than relying on imports, and to identify barriers and costs involved in building this manufacturing capacity. The study would cover essential items like semiconductors, batteries, and other components needed for national security and economic resilience. The findings would help policymakers decide whether to invest in domestic factories and supply chains for these vital products.
