Semiconductor Supply Chain Security and Diversification Act of 2025

HR 1215, the Semiconductor Supply Chain Security and Diversification Act of 2025, aims to strengthen U.S. semiconductor security by promoting diversified supply chains across the Western Hemisphere. It directs the State Department, Commerce, and other agencies to support Western Hemisphere countries - particularly those with upper-middle or high-income economies - to develop their own semiconductor infrastructure, including mining critical minerals (like zinc and gallium) and testing facilities. The bill authorizes U.S. funding through the International Development Finance Corporation for these projects, requiring presidential certification that they advance U.S. interests and either benefit the poorest populations or counter strategic competitors. It focuses on building regional supply chain resilience through diplomatic support, regulatory cooperation, and market integration across the hemisphere.
