Text of the amendment may be found here.\n\n\u201cWe should be bolstering manufacturing at home\u2014not expanding abroad. My amendment will ensure companies that receive taxpayer funds can\u2019t turn around and build more factories in China,\u201d said Cotton.\n\nThis amendment would:\n\nEliminate loopholes that would allow semiconductor companies to take taxpayer money while expanding production of so-called \u201clegacy semiconductors\u201d in China.\n\nEliminate a \u201cMitigation\u201d process that would allow semiconductor companies to expand advanced semiconductor manufacturing in China and keep CHIPS grant money while keeping taxpayer funds.\n\nProvide a more comprehensive definition of \u201csemiconductor manufacturing\u201d so that companies cannot take taxpayer money and move other parts of their manufacturing supply chains like testing, packaging, and R&D to China.\n\nEliminate other loopholes that companies could use to argue with the Department of Commerce about whether their activities in China disqualify them from receiving taxpayer funds.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "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://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-introduces-amendment-to-prohibit-companies-from-expanding-semiconductor-manufacturing-in-china"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.840829849243164, "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"}
