Planes Not Panels Act
This bill amends the Defense Production Act to prohibit the President from using authority under Section 303(a) to purchase or commit to purchasing solar panels. It specifically restricts the use of defense production funds for crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells or modules. The provision directly affects federal procurement decisions under the Defense Production Act, limiting the President's ability to allocate resources for solar panel acquisitions during national emergencies.
