What this bill would do
The Critical Minerals and Manufacturing Support Act aims to change how the advanced manufacturing credit works for battery component production. It increases the credit amount for electrode active materials from 10 percent to 25 percent. The bill adds specific rules for the production of electrode active materials, including raw material costs. It also sets strict sourcing requirements for critical minerals and battery components to qualify for the credit. Additionally, the bill excludes components involving any materials handled by a foreign entity of concern. These changes take effect for components produced and sold after December 31, 2025.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Increased Credit for Materials: The credit for electrode active materials increases from 10 percent to 25 percent, which covers production costs like raw materials extracted from geological sources or waste products (Section 2(a) and 2(b)).
-
Support for Local Sourcing: The bill allows for credits if critical minerals are extracted or processed in the United States or a country with a free trade agreement, or if they are recycled and reintegrated in North America (Section 2(c)(1)(A)).
-
Encouraging North American Manufacturing: The bill provides a path for qualifying battery components to meet increasingly higher percentages of production, manufacturing, or assembly within North America (Section 2(c)(2)).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
-
Strict Sourcing Limitations: To receive the credit, a specific percentage of critical minerals and battery components must be sourced from specific locations, which increases in strictly required percentages over time (Section 2(c)(1) and 2(c)(2)).
-
Restrictions Based on Entity Type: A component cannot qualify for the credit if any of its critical minerals or constituent elements, materials, or subcomponents were produced, manufactured, assembled, extracted, processed, or recycled by a foreign entity of concern (Section 2(d)).
