Title: Industrial Finance Corporation Act
Policy area: Commerce

Summary:
Industrial Finance Corporation Act  This bill establishes within the executive branch the Industrial Finance Corporation. The corporation must provide support for (1) manufacturing and supply chains in certain critical industries, (2) industries on the technological frontier, and (3) other economic objectives.  The bill specifies the membership and structure of the corporation and authorizes the corporation to invest in projects, make loans, and manage programs to further the corporation's economic objectives. The corporation also has the power to purchase or lease property, enter contracts, borrow funds from the Department of the Treasury (up to a specified limit), and otherwise carry out its functions.  A risk committee must develop and review the corporation's risk management policies and an audit committee must oversee the integrity of the corporation's finances. The bill also requires the corporation to develop a performance measurement system to evaluate and monitor projects and guide future projects. Further, the corporation must develop appropriate safeguards, policies, and guidelines to ensure that its projects supplement, rather than compete with, private sector supports.  The corporation must periodically report on its projects and publish certain project-level information.

                         TITLE I--ESTABLISHMENT

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The COVID-19 pandemic exposed long-existing 
        vulnerabilities and harmful concentration in supply chains, as 
        demonstrated by the semiconductor shortage and the 
        reverberating effects of that shortage on the production 
        capabilities of industries within the United States.
            (2) Vulnerable or concentrated supply chains have harmful 
        implications for the national security of the United States, 
        including by--
                    (A) creating bottlenecks and delays for goods and 
                innovations necessary to military preparedness;
                    (B) increasing economic and political leverage for 
                adversarial nations in international negotiations; and
                    (C) providing leverage for adversarial nations to 
                use their supply chain dominance to exert economic 
                pressure or destabilize the defense capabilities of the 
                United States.
            (3) To promote the national defense and national security 
        of the United States, the Federal Government must provide 
        investment to ensure that certain goods and innovations are 
        produced in the United States.
            (4) Vulnerable supply chains also have harmful economic 
        repercussions for the United States, including by--
                    (A) weakening the ability of the United States to 
                lead commercial development of the technological 
                frontier;
                    (B) limiting the availability of financing and 
                investment for businesses in the United States; and
                    (C) causing higher prices for consumers and 
                businesses in the United States.
            (5) In order for the United States to remain the economic 
        leader of the world, it is critical for the Federal Government 
        to ensure that the United States leads the development, 
        furtherance, and commercialization of the technological 
        frontier through investments in manufacturing and fields and 
        technologies with and without military applications, 
        including--
                    (A) nanotechnology;
                    (B) biotechnology;
                    (C) advanced manufacturing;
                    (D) quantum computing;
                    (E) advanced communications;
                    (F) advanced energy;
                    (G) semiconductors;
                    (H) advanced computing;
                    (I) cybersecurity;
                    (J) artificial intelligence;
                    (K) green manufacturing; and
                    (L) other fields with high potential to contribute 
                to the economic and national security of the United 
                States that may lack sufficient private sector 
                investment.
            (6) Historically, the Federal Government has used public 
        funds to fill gaps in private sector investment, often without 
        sharing in the potential benefits. When the Federal Government 
        invests in high-risk, high-reward industries, the taxpayers of 
        the United States should share in the potential benefits and 
        not just the risks of the investment.
            (7) It is in the economic interest of the United States to 
        ensure that resilient supply chains remain economically 
        competitive. Accordingly, it is crucial--
                    (A) for the Federal Government to invest in 
                building and retaining a vibrant manufacturing sector;
                    (B) for the Federal Government to invest in 
                manufacturing and production that leads to good jobs 
                for workers in the United States; and
                    (C) that investments in manufacturers in the United 
                States lead to good jobs for workers in the United 
                States.
            (8) All too often, excessive short-termism precludes 
        companies in the United States from accessing investment 
        capital. It is in the interest of the Federal Government to 
        ensure that patient capital (or capital with an investment 
        horizon of not less than 7 years) is available to boost supply 
        chains and manufacturing in the United States. Innovative 
        industries, including industries described in, or that produce 
        the products described in, paragraph (5), suffer from limited 
        access to patient capital.

        success, including--
                    (A) technologies and products with civilian and 
                military applications, including applications described 
                in section 101(5); and
                    (B) other technologies that enhance the influence 
                of the United States through exportation to other 
                countries;
            (4) restore the entrepreneurial dynamism of the economy of 
        the United States by supporting the growth of small- and 
        medium-sized businesses with not more than 500 employees--
                    (A) that support, or are capable of supporting, the 
                growth of the industries and products described in 
                paragraph (3) as contractors or customers, especially 
                in sectors such as manufacturing that compete in an 
                international marketplace;

                        that have historically suffered from low access 
                        to capital; or
                            (ii) owned by an individual who is a member 
                        of a demographic group that has historically 
                        suffered from low access to capital; and
            (5) provide support to critical industries that are 
        vulnerable to systematic patterns of underinvestment, import 
        competition, and targeted industrial policies from foreign 
        nations, in order to--
                    (A) ensure that those industries preserve and 
                ideally expand production capacity for consumers of 
                those industries; and
                    (B) invest in strategies to promote the deployment

                have been substantially delayed, without the support.
                    (C) The support will contribute positively to the 
                long-term commercial sustainability of the target 
                industry in the United States.
                    (D) The support furthers a policy of the

                project at the time that the Corporation approves 
                support of the project, except that such percentage may 
                be raised with the unanimous consent of the Board.
                    (B) Total limit.--Support provided under this 
                subsection shall be limited to not more than 35 percent 
                of the aggregate exposure of the Corporation on the 
                date on which that support is provided, except that

        shall seek to sell and liquidate any support for a project

SEC. 501. LIMITATIONS AND PREFERENCES.

    (a) Policies.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, in 
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, shall establish 
policies to ensure that, with respect to support provided to an entity 
under the activities of the Corporation under title II, the support--
            (1) is contingent on the entity using the support to invest 
        in manufacturing activity in the United States;
            (2) retains public benefits in the United States after the 
        date on which the support concludes according to binding 
        commitments that, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer 
        of the Corporation--
                    (A) are satisfactory; and
                    (B) remain in place for the longest feasible period 
                of time, consistent with sound economics and the 
                purposes of this Act; and
            (3) contains safeguards to minimize the transfer of 
        intellectual property from companies in the United States to 
        foreign entities, especially to countries of concern, including 
        the People's Republic of China.
    (b) Limitation on Support for Single Entity.--An entity receiving 
support from the Corporation under title II may not receive more than 
an amount that is equal to 5 percent of the maximum contingent 
liability of the Corporation authorized under section 303.
    (c) Promotion.--The Corporation shall make efforts to ensure that 
the activities of the Corporation promote--

        diverse range of States receive investment support under title 
        II;
            (2) competition, such that target industries and sectors 
        maintain a competitive environment and are not controlled by 
        single entities;
            (3) sustainability, such that raw materials sourcing and 
        manufacturing practices minimize environmental harm;
            (4) equity, such that businesses from historically 
        marginalized communities receive business development support; 
        and
            (5) fair labor, such that businesses with unionized 
        workforces are supported.

            (2) does not have a significant adverse impact on 
        employment in the United States.

        under such Act shall be deemed to be reference to a project 
        that receives financial assistance from the Corporation; and

        reference to the Corporation.
