Creates a 25% business tax credit for purchases of printed circuit boards and integrated circuit substrates fabricated in the United States (effective for amounts paid after 12/31/2025). Establishes a Department of Commerce program to provide financial assistance (grants, concessions, workforce funding, etc.) to entities that build, expand, or modernize U.S. printed circuit board and substrate manufacturing and R&D facilities, with application rules, preferences, clawbacks, foreign-entity exclusions, interagency coordination, GAO reviews, and a $3 billion authorization for FY2026 (available through 2065).

Overall favorable.
Sees the bill as a targeted industrial policy to rebuild domestic electronics supply chains, create manufacturing jobs, and fund workforce training, with explicit equity preferences.
Would want stronger labor standards, environmental safeguards, and guardrails to ensure benefits flow to workers and disadvantaged communities.
Cautiously supportive.
Values supply-chain resilience, targetted incentives, and GAO oversight, but concerned about fiscal cost, performance metrics, and avoiding poorly targeted subsidies.
Will seek clear evaluation criteria and sunset/performance triggers.
Skeptical.
Supports domestic manufacturing in principle and national-security exclusions, but opposes broad subsidies and tax credits seen as government industrial picking.
Worries about market distortion, fiscal cost, and administrative complexity.
