What this bill would do

The Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025 aims to improve the resilience of critical supply chains and emerging technologies. It assigns new responsibilities to the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Analysis to promote stability and respond to supply chain shocks. A Supply Chain Resilience Working Group will be established to assess vulnerabilities and identify gaps in critical industries. The Act directs the mapping of supply chains and the evaluation of domestic and allied manufacturing capacities. Additionally, the Secretary of Commerce must conduct a capability assessment of the Department of Commerce. This legislation will terminate ten years after its enactment.
