What this amendment would do

This amendment aims to add a new section to the bill to create the Economy of the Future Commission within the legislative branch.

The purpose of this commission is to create agreed-upon legislative recommendations to handle economic changes caused by the use of artificial intelligence.

Key goals and additions include:

  • Legislative Recommendations: The commission will develop suggestions for laws regarding workforce development, education (from K-12 through higher education), social safety nets, and taxation policy.
  • Specific Areas of Study: The group will evaluate things like Federal AI research strategies, supply chain challenges for robotics, energy demands for data centers, and transportation safety for autonomous vehicles.
  • Reporting Requirements: The commission must produce two reports:
    • An interim report including employment and Federal revenue estimates for 5 and 10 years into the future.
    • A final report with recommendations on reskilling employees, unemployment insurance, and keeping the U.S. competitive in technology and manufacturing.
  • Structure and Funding: The commission will consist of 12 members appointed by congressional leaders and 4 nonvoting members appointed by the President. It is authorized to receive $5,250,000 for fiscal year 2027.
