Bring Jobs Back to America: Strategic Manufacturing & Job Repatriation Act

H.R. 5980, the Bring Jobs Back to America: Strategic Manufacturing & Job Repatriation Act, aims to strengthen the U.S. economy by creating a national strategy to increase domestic production and encourage companies to move overseas jobs back to the United States. The bill would establish specialized task forces to help firms return operations to American soil and would require a study on potential tax incentives to make this transition more affordable for businesses. Additionally, the legislation proposes changes to patent laws to protect inventors' information and prioritizes patent applications from American universities to help speed up the development of new technologies.
