Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act of 2025
Summary
The Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act of 2025 would direct SelectUSA, a Department of Commerce program that coordinates federal efforts to attract business investment to the United States, to take specific actions regarding semiconductor manufacturing. The bill would require SelectUSA to solicit comments and feedback from state economic development organizations about federal efforts to increase foreign direct investment in semiconductor-related manufacturing and production facilities.
After gathering input from the states, SelectUSA would be required to submit a report to Congress detailing the comments received and outlining strategies the program may employ to increase foreign investment in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing. This reporting requirement would give Congress visibility into both state-level perspectives on semiconductor investment and the federal government's plans to strengthen the domestic semiconductor supply chain.
For everyday citizens, this bill addresses concerns about the resilience and security of America's semiconductor supply chain, which is critical to the economy and national security. By encouraging foreign investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing facilities, the bill aims to reduce dependence on overseas semiconductor production and create manufacturing jobs in the United States. The bill has passed the House and is currently under review in the Senate.
