Made in America Jobs Act of 2026

This bill amends the 1965 Public Works and Economic Development Act to expand how federal grants can be used. It adds two specific purposes: (1) facilitating the relocation of jobs from outside the U.S. to American workers, and (2) supporting growth in the manufacturing sector. Grants for public works, economic development planning, training, and economic adjustment must now include these new objectives. The changes apply to state and local governments receiving these federal funds, directing them to prioritize domestic job relocations and manufacturing expansion. The bill modifies existing grant program rules but does not create new funding.
