IPC Applauds Leadership of Reps. Moore and Krishnamoorthi on PCB Manufacturing Bill

STATEMENT: IPC, the global electronics association serving more than 1,400 U.S. companies and over 3,200 worldwide, strongly supports the bipartisan reintroduction of the Protecting Circuit Boards and Substrates (PCBS) Act in the 119th Congress. Championed by Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) and a new lead co-sponsor Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), the bill targets a critical vulnerability in the U.S. electronics supply chain by:

• Authorizing $3 billion in federal investments for domestic PCB and IC substrate production and,
• Establishing a 25% tax credit for companies that source U.S.-made PCBs and substrates

“The PCBS Act addresses a critical and long-overlooked weakness in America’s electronics supply chain,” said John W. Mitchell, IPC President and CEO. “Every electronic device relies on PCBs and substrates, but the U.S. no longer has the capabilities or capacity to meet current demand, much less address future technology requirements. This bill is a vital step toward rebuilding the nation’s ability to manufacture electronics from silicon to systems—an essential foundation for innovation, security, and economic strength.”
