Received in the House.
Passed Senate without amendment by Unanimous Consent.
This bill tells the Department of Commerce to take a close look at its own programs that deal with supply chains and manufacturing. It must hire the National Academy of Public Administration to study which offices work on these topics, how well they work, where there’s overlap or gaps, and how to make them work better together. The goal is to strengthen important supply chains in areas like defense, public health, technology, energy, transportation, and agriculture so they can handle shortages and disruptions more reliably .
The study must lead to a report with clear recommendations to improve effectiveness and coordination inside the department and with other federal agencies. After the report is done, the department must send it to Congress along with any suggested next steps and the department’s response .
