AI-decodedWhat does this do?
The Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act directs SelectUSA to work with state economic development offices to attract foreign investment in semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, and related materials. Within 180 days it must gather state input and identify investment barriers, and within two years it must report to Congress on its strategies.
Who does it affect?
The bill affects SelectUSA, the Department of Commerce, state economic development offices, and the semiconductor industry.
Why does it matter?
Supply shortages in recent years have hurt the economy and raised national security concerns, and the bill requires safeguards so that "foreign adversaries" like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea don't benefit from the effort.
