Keep Call Centers in America Act of 2025
Key claim: The Keep Call Centers in America Act of 2025 (HR4954) would create federal rules aimed at retaining call-center operations and jobs in the United States and was referred to the House Energy and Commerce, Education and Workforce, Oversight and Government Reform, and Armed Services committees.
Abstract
(HR4954 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-08-12): Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Education and Workforce, Oversight and Government Reform, and Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Why this matters
Call-center offshoring sits at the intersection of services trade and domestic employment policy, and legislation targeting where these operations are located can affect cross-border service providers, federal contractors, and consumer-facing costs. The bill’s referral to four committees — including Armed Services and Oversight — signals a scope that may extend beyond labor into federal contracting eligibility and procurement, both of which are trade-adjacent levers.
