HR 1721 Signed into law

Sponsored by Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R)

Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act

Requires the Commerce Department to study which critical products could be made in the US.

Tradeoff

Costs about $2 million over five years for the study itself. Funds no factories or subsidies, so any follow-up action needs separate funding.

What's in it

See official bill text

Adds $2 million to federal spending over five years (2025-2029).

The $2 million funds the Department of Commerce to conduct feasibility studies on domestic manufacturing of imported critical infrastructure products and report findings to Congress — no program benefits or subsidies are included in this estimate.
