The Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act is Congresswoman Rivas\u2019 first bill to be signed into law and will align multiple timelines for advanced manufacturing initiatives.\n\n\u201cMy bill to remove manufacturing hurdles, lower costs for workers, and create more jobs across the country is now law,\u201d said Congresswoman Rivas. \u201cFrom artificial intelligence to robotics, advanced manufacturing plays a crucial role in making sure the United States can remain a leader in innovation and competitive in the global market. Now that my bill is law, we can continue to work toward revitalizing American manufacturing and boosting domestic competitiveness among manufacturers.\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nThe Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act would amend the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to align the timelines for multiple advanced manufacturing initiatives to every four years on the same cycle.\n\nThe Manufacturing USA Strategic Plan establishes a three-year planning cycle for updating the National Institutes of Standards and Technology Act. Currently, the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing is updated every four years on a different cycle. This alignment ensures a clear set of goals, synchronized data collection, and reduced bureaucracy for U.S. advanced manufacturing stakeholders.\n\nThe Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act was introduced in the Senate by Senators Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) and Ted Budd (R-NC).\n\nIt was included as Sec. 8802 in Title LXXXVIII\u2014OTHER MATTERS within S. 1071, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, which passed the House 312-112 on December 10, 2025.\n\nIt passed the Senate 77-20 on December 17, 2025, and was signed into law on December 18, 2025.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://rivas.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-luz-rivas-first-bill-signed-law"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.035274937748909, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
