What it does
The bill creates a new nonprofit company in the Department of Commerce. It sets up 30 regional councils made of makers, unions, schools, and local groups. These councils will run programs to train workers and help small makers get money and advice. The councils will also support workers and minorities who own making businesses. The bill gives $4 billion per year for three years, from 2026 to 2028.
Who it affects
Workers, small makers, and poor areas gain access to training and money. Labor unions, schools, and local groups help decide how to spend the money. Regions picked for councils get direct money; regions not picked do not.
One thing to notice
The bill says $4 billion can be spent but does not guarantee Congress will pay it. Without the money, the councils cannot start.
