This bill amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to require the Defense Production Act Committee to conduct tabletop exercises at least once every five years. These discussion-based simulations would help the committee evaluate what resources and authorities would be needed during potential national emergencies or crises requiring industrial mobilization. The bill affects the committee responsible for coordinating the government's ability to direct industrial production for national defense purposes. No specific funding is authorized in the legislation, and the simulations must begin within five years of the bill's enactment. The bill also includes a minor technical correction to the original Defense Production Act's title formatting.
