Bill overview
The Made in America Shipbuilding Act of 2020 aims to prioritize the construction and conversion of vessels within the United States by requiring federal agencies to procure vessels and shipboard components domestically. It establishes strict domestic content requirements for various components, including steel, engines, and electrical systems, with limited exceptions for national security or public interest reasons. The bill also includes provisions to penalize those who falsely label products as ‘Made in America’ when they are not, and to ensure that the Department of Defense adheres to similar domestic sourcing rules.
