Reshoring American Manufacturing Act of 2026
To require the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to maintain a website for small business concerns relating to onshoring manufacturing capacity, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9718, proposes to create a new online resource for small businesses. Specifically, it would require the Small Business Administration to maintain a website that provides information and support for small businesses looking to bring manufacturing back to the United States, also known as "onshoring." This could help small businesses access the tools and knowledge they need to produce goods domestically, potentially boosting local economies and creating jobs.
The bill would primarily affect small businesses, offering them a centralized place to find resources and guidance on onshoring their manufacturing processes. By doing so, it aims to encourage more domestic production, which could lead to job growth and economic benefits within local communities.
As of the last status date, July 15, 2026, HB9718 was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Small Business. On September 16, 2026, the committee held a session to consider and mark up the bill, and it was ordered to be reported in the nature of a substitute with a unanimous vote. This means the bill is moving forward with some changes recommended by the committee.
