Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill requires the Secretary of Commerce to produce a comprehensive report within one year examining how the department's various offices and bureaus handle supply chain resilience and manufacturing innovation. The report must identify which offices work on these issues, assess their effectiveness and efficiency, find any gaps or duplicative efforts between departments, and recommend improvements to better coordinate activities both within the Commerce Department and with other federal agencies. The Secretary will work with the National Academy of Public Administration to complete the study and must submit the findings to Congress within 180 days of finishing the report, along with legislative recommendations and a departmental response. The bill covers supply chains in critical sectors including defense, public health, technology, energy, transportation, and agriculture. Overall, this is a procedural reform measure designed to streamline government operations rather than create new programs or spending.
