What it does
The bill lets companies get federal grants. They must move manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Companies can use the money for buildings, planning, and training. The bill adds two new types of projects that get grants: bringing jobs back and growing U.S. manufacturing.
Who it affects
Workers in regions where factories move could get jobs. Companies that make things overseas can now get federal money to relocate. The bill does not require companies to pay certain wages or protect workers.
One thing to notice
The bill gives federal money to companies. It does not require them to pay workers a set wage or keep jobs for a certain time.
