Abstract
(S97 · 119th Congress) Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act This bill requires the SelectUSA program to solicit comments from state economic development organizations regarding federal efforts to increase foreign direct investment in semiconductor-related manufacturing and production. SelectUSA must then report to Congress on such comments and the strategies that SelectUSA may employ to increase such investment and to secure the U.S. semiconductor supply chain. SelectUSA is a Department of Commerce program established to coordinate federal efforts to attract and retain business investment in the United States. Latest action (2025-05-26): Held at the desk.
Why this matters
The bill formalizes federal-state coordination on attracting semiconductor FDI, potentially shaping how incentives and outreach are targeted to foreign chipmakers considering U.S. investment. While procedural, it signals continued congressional focus on onshoring semiconductor manufacturing capacity, complementing CHIPS Act funding with a structured intelligence loop between state economic development offices and Commerce.
