This bill directs the Executive Director of SelectUSA to solicit input from State economic development organizations on increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) in semiconductor-related manufacturing, identify barriers and opportunities, and develop recommendations. Within two years SelectUSA must report to relevant Congressional committees describing comments received, current activities, and strategies to increase FDI while preventing foreign adversaries from benefiting.
Labor/environmental safeguards vs focus on rapid investment attraction
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-structured reporting requirement that clearly defines the problem, assigns responsibility, sets deadlines, and specifies report contents while relying on existing authorities and resources.

Labor/environmental safeguards vs focus on rapid investment attraction
Generally supportive of efforts to onshore and bolster semiconductor capacity for jobs and national security, but concerned about implementation details.
Will look for safeguards ensuring labor, environmental protections, and that FDI benefits workers and communities.
Views the report and coordination as useful but insufficient without funding and enforceable standards.
Sees the bill as a pragmatic, low-cost step to coordinate FDI attraction and strengthen critical supply chains.
Appreciates intergovernmental coordination and national security guardrails, but expects measurable metrics and accountability.
Concerned the 'no additional funds' clause could hamper implementation and impact.
Likely supportive of measures that revive domestic manufacturing and limit dependence on rivals.
Favours the bill's limited federal footprint and lack of new spending.
Skeptical about federal coordination that could evolve into industrial policy or pick winners and losers.
