Plain Language Summary

# Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act of 2025 - Summary **What the bill does:** This bill directs SelectUSA, a Department of Commerce program, to gather input from state economic development organizations about how the federal government can attract foreign companies to invest in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing. SelectUSA would then report back to Congress with recommendations on strategies to bring more semiconductor production to America and strengthen the country's supply chain for these critical computer chips. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects state governments, the Department of Commerce, and semiconductor manufacturers.

It could indirectly benefit American workers and consumers by potentially increasing domestic semiconductor production and reducing dependence on foreign sources for these essential components used in everything from computers to automobiles. **Current status:** The bill has passed the House of Representatives. It now moves to the Senate for consideration. The bill is focused on information-gathering and strategy development rather than directly funding or mandating specific actions, making it a relatively modest legislative step aimed at improving coordination between federal and state efforts to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
