Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to update its strategic plan at least every four years and to align that update cycle with the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing. The change amends the NIST Act so the institute's planning timetable matches the national strategy cadence, promoting coordinated updates and more predictable timing for stakeholders.
The amendment is procedural and administrative: it changes the timing requirement for strategic-plan updates but does not create new programs, funding, or regulatory duties for nonfederal entities.
