Summary

What This Bill Does

This bill requires the SelectUSA program at the Commerce Department to work with state-level economic development organizations to increase foreign direct investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing. SelectUSA must solicit comments within 180 days, develop recommendations, and submit a report to Congress within 2 years.

Who Benefits and How

U.S. semiconductor industry benefits from coordinated federal-state efforts to attract foreign investment. State economic development organizations gain a formal role in federal investment attraction strategy. Allied countries can participate in strengthening U.S. semiconductor supply chains.

Who Bears the Burden and How

SelectUSA must conduct outreach and reporting using existing resources (no new funding). Foreign adversaries (China, Russia, etc.) are explicitly excluded from benefiting from U.S. investment attraction efforts.

Key Provisions

  • SelectUSA must solicit comments from states within 180 days on barriers and opportunities for semiconductor investment
  • Must develop recommendations for increasing investment independently or through state partnerships
  • Must ensure foreign adversaries do not benefit from U.S. investment efforts
  • Report to Congress within 2 years on activities and strategies
  • No additional funding authorized - uses existing SelectUSA resources
