HR 1679 Passed House — in Senate

Sponsored by Gabe Evans (R)

Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025

Orders a Commerce and GAO review of U.S. competitiveness in attracting foreign investment from trusted countries.

Tradeoff

Requires federal agencies to study barriers to foreign investment and report recommendations to Congress within one year. No direct spending or tax changes.

What's in it

See official bill text

No significant federal cost; bill requires executive branch studies and reporting with minimal administrative expense.

The cost is just the federal expense to conduct and report these studies — it does not fund any new programs or tax changes, and the policy's real effects, if any, would depend on whether Congress later acts on the findings.
