DISPOSITION

ADOPTED

DEC 10, 2025

“On agreeing to the McGuire amendment (A003) Agreed to by voice vote.”

what this changes

This amendment requires the government to study how foreign rivals might disrupt the supply chain for electricity specifically to slow down American progress in artificial intelligence. It ensures that national reports on the power grid also look at threats to U.S. leadership in high-tech development.

WHY IT MATTERS

Artificial intelligence requires massive amounts of electricity and specialized hardware; if foreign competitors can block the parts needed for the power grid, they could effectively slow down American technological innovation.

WHO IS AFFECTED

This primarily affects national security agencies, energy infrastructure companies, and the technology industry by highlighting risks to the resources they need to function.
