Bill 118 hr 1704, also known as the Latin America and Caribbean Nearshoring Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to promote economic development and job creation in Latin America and the Caribbean by encouraging US companies to relocate their operations to these regions, a practice known as nearshoring.

The bill includes provisions for the establishment of a Nearshoring Task Force, which will be responsible for identifying opportunities for nearshoring in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as developing strategies to support US companies in making the transition.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to provide financial incentives for US companies that choose to nearshore their operations, such as tax credits and grants. These incentives are intended to offset the costs associated with relocating and help companies take advantage of the economic opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean. Overall, the Latin America and Caribbean Nearshoring Act aims to strengthen economic ties between the US and the countries in these regions, while also promoting job growth and economic development. The bill is currently being considered by Congress and has garnered bipartisan support.
