Summary of Bill S 2487

Bill 118 s 2487, also known as the "Enhanced Domestic Content Requirement for Navy Shipbuilding Programs Act," aims to increase the amount of domestically sourced materials used in Navy shipbuilding programs. The bill specifically targets the construction of ships for the United States Navy, requiring that a higher percentage of materials used in the building process be sourced from within the United States.

The bill seeks to strengthen the domestic manufacturing industry by promoting the use of American-made materials in the construction of Navy ships. This is intended to not only support American businesses and workers, but also to enhance national security by reducing reliance on foreign suppliers for critical components of naval vessels.

If passed, the bill would establish new guidelines for the procurement of materials for Navy shipbuilding programs, mandating that a certain percentage of materials used in the construction process be sourced from domestic suppliers. This would apply to all future Navy shipbuilding contracts, ensuring that American companies have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from these important defense projects. Overall, the "Enhanced Domestic Content Requirement for Navy Shipbuilding Programs Act" aims to promote American manufacturing, support domestic businesses, and strengthen national security by increasing the use of domestically sourced materials in Navy shipbuilding programs.
