Senate Commerce Advances Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act

The Senate Commerce Committee advanced the Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act (S-229) on a voice vote Wednesday. The measure and House companion HR-752 would direct the Commerce Department’s SelectUSA program to work with state-level economic development organizations to develop strategies to attract investment in U.S. semiconductor manufacturers and supply chains. Senate Commerce advanced a previous version of the bill in 2021 (see 2112090058).
