Last week, Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-17) led a letter with many of his Texas colleagues requesting that S. 2228, the Building Chips in America Act, be brought to the House floor. After passing the Senate with unanimous consent, S. 2228 cleared the House today. This legislation aims to meet United States economic and national security goals and bring chip manufacturing back to American soil. The bill clears bureaucratic roadblocks for semiconductor industry grant recipients by streamlining NEPA regulations.

Congressman Sessions stated, "This legislation is of immense importance to Texas. With over 47,000 jobs created and more on the way, Texas is at the forefront of this high-tech manufacturing. Bringing chip manufacturing back to American soil strengthens national security and our economy."
