Introduced Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. 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.

Investing in Domestic Semiconductor Manufacturing Act

To amend the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 to improve the semiconductor incentive program of the Department of Commerce.

Introduced Jan 6, 2022

Latest action (Jan 7, 2022) Referred to the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.

Summary

This bill amends an existing semiconductor incentive program administered by the Department of Commerce to broaden its scope. Rather than focusing only on semiconductor chip fabrication and research, the program would now also include support for the production of materials and equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. The amendments clarify that incentives can support production activities in addition to research and development efforts. The changes are intended to expand domestic support for the semiconductor supply chain beyond just chip makers themselves.
