Summary of Bill HR 509

Bill 119 HR 509, also known as the "Decrease Dependency on China Manufacturing and Migration Prevention Act," aims to address two key issues facing the United States: the reliance on manufacturing in the People's Republic of China and the migration of individuals due to economic opportunities lost in certain regions.
