It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To direct the Secretary of Commerce to submit reports on strategies regarding the manufacturing of, and research relating to, semiconductors and other similar technologies, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Commerce to submit a report within 240 days analyzing semiconductor manufacturing and research trends, including offshoring patterns since 1990, supply chain vulnerabilities, and domestic intellectual property acquisitions by foreign entities. The report must assess the implications of offshore semiconductor manufacturing on national economy, national security, US competitiveness, and relationships with allies and adversaries. The Secretary must recommend strategies to increase domestic semiconductor manufacturing and research through incentives, reduce acquisitions of US intellectual property, and strengthen competitiveness. Annual updates would be required to assess whether the strategies remain current.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “Semiconductor Sovereignty Act”.
SEC. 2. REPORTS ON STRATEGIES REGARDING THE MANUFACTURING OF, AND RESEARCH RELATING TO, SEMICONDUCTORS AND OTHER SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES.
(a) Initial Report.—
(1) In general.—Not later than 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security, shall carry out the following:
(A) To the extent practicable, identify the following:
(i) The critical and foundational inputs for semiconductors and other similar technologies, including the following:
(I) Tools for the manufacturing of, and research relating to, such semiconductors and technologies, including the following: (aa) Equipment for photolithography, including photomasks. (bb) Software.
(II) The processes for such manufacturing and research, including the following: (aa) Designing. (bb) Packaging.
(III) The minerals, gases, and other chemical substances utilized in such manufacturing and research.
(IV) The supply chains for such minerals, gases, and substances.
(ii) The trends with respect to the following:
(I) The offshoring of such manufacturing and research from January 1, 1990, to such date of enactment.
(II) Any reshoring of such offshored manufacturing and research.
(III) Partnerships between domestic entities and foreign entities for such inputs.
(IV) Investments by such entities for the domestic manufacturing of, and research relating to, such semiconductors and technologies.
(iii) Each location to which such manufacturing and research is being offshored.
(iv) The bottlenecks with respect to the following:
(I) Such manufacturing and research.
(II) The international trade of such semiconductors and technologies.
(v) The role of foreign nationals who receive in the United States an education or work experience in the manufacturing of, and research relating to, such semiconductors and technologies, and subsequently work for foreign entities, including adversaries of the United States, in fields relating to such semiconductors and technologies.
(vi) The role of private sector officials and public sector officials who are American and work for such foreign entities.
(vii) The domestic assets, including intellectual property, for such manufacturing and research that such foreign entities have acquired, including by means of a bankruptcy.
