WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Peter Meijer (R-MI) and Dina Titus (D-NV), both members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, along with Chairman Gregory Meeks (D-NY), today introduced the bipartisan Protecting Semiconductor Supply Chain Materials from Authoritarians Act. This legislation amends the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 to establish a working group for reporting on the semiconductor supply chain disruptions caused by Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, develop strategies for bolstering supplies of critical elements, compounds, and products, and monitor potential threats to the semiconductor supply chains.
“Since coming to Congress, it has been one of my top priorities to promote policies that ensure a robust domestic supply of semiconductors,” said Rep. Meijer. “The effects of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine are far reaching, and this legislation ensures we are properly considering the impact it has on our semiconductor supply chain. Congress must exercise its full authority to protect and preserve our supply chain – our economy and national security depend on it, and I am proud to join this bipartisan effort to do so.”
