U.S. senators are pushing for a new bill that would create a government tracking system to monitor the country's supply chains.

Labeled the Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act, it would establish a program to map, monitor, and model U.S. supply chains, and look for potential gaps in manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and distribution. 

“Strengthening supply chains is essential to ensuring that groceries, fuel, household products, and every other consumer product is accessible and affordable,” said Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who co-sponsored the bill with Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA). “To achieve a strong, resilient, supply chain, we must have a coordinated, national strategy that decreases dependence on our adversaries, like Communist China, and leverages American ingenuity."

It would also set aside money to evaluate current domestic manufacturing capacity for critical goods across a variety of industries, and create a supply chain early warning system by using artificial intelligence to mitigate against possible future disruptions. 

The bill was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 15 by a 390-19 margin, and was introduced in the Senate on May 21.
