Boosting US Electronics Manufacturing and Military Supply Security
This act aims to strengthen the domestic production of critical electronic components, like printed circuit boards, in the United States. It establishes a fund to support the construction and modernization of manufacturing facilities and mandates disclosure of the origin of these components in military equipment. This is intended to enhance national security and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, indirectly impacting economic stability and national safety.
