Bill 118 s 2937, also known as the Increasing American Ferrosilicon Production Act, aims to support and promote the production of ferrosilicon in the United States.

The bill proposes several measures to increase domestic ferrosilicon production, including providing financial incentives and support to American companies that produce ferrosilicon. This support may come in the form of tax breaks, grants, or other forms of assistance to help these companies expand their production capacity and compete more effectively in the global market.

Additionally, the bill seeks to address any regulatory barriers that may be hindering the growth of the ferrosilicon industry in the US. This could involve streamlining permitting processes, reducing bureaucratic red tape, or providing technical assistance to help companies comply with environmental and safety regulations. Overall, the Increasing American Ferrosilicon Production Act is aimed at boosting domestic production of this critical alloy, creating jobs, and strengthening the US economy. Supporters of the bill argue that increasing American ferrosilicon production will reduce reliance on foreign imports, enhance national security, and support the growth of key industries that rely on this essential material.
