Supply Chain Security and Resilience Act

HR 826 establishes a new Supply Chain Resiliency and Crisis Response Office within the Department of Commerce. The Office develops voluntary guidelines to help domestic manufacturers and businesses that produce or use "critical goods" (like defense materials or infrastructure supplies) assess supply chain risks and improve resilience against disruptions. It will monitor supply chains, conduct stress tests, and provide resources to help companies redesign products and expand manufacturing capacity. The bill directly affects manufacturers of critical goods and aims to prevent shortages that threaten national security or economic stability. It allocates $500 million over five years to fund these efforts.
