Overview

Bill Number: HR 4832
Title: Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act of 2025
Status: Introduced in House
Introduced: August 01, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act of 2025 aims to bolster the United States' biomanufacturing capabilities and create new high-skilled jobs in this growing industry. The bill recognizes the strategic importance of domestic biomanufacturing capacity for producing critical medical products, pharmaceuticals, and other biobased goods. By incentivizing investment and workforce development, the legislation seeks to position the U.S. as a global leader in advanced biomanufacturing.

Key Provisions

  • Establishes a new Biomanufacturing Investment Tax Credit to provide a 30% credit for qualified investments in biomanufacturing facilities and equipment
  • Creates a Biomanufacturing Workforce Development Grant Program to fund training, apprenticeships, and education programs for biomanufacturing jobs
  • Directs the Department of Commerce to designate "Biomanufacturing Hubs" to coordinate regional economic development and cluster formation
  • Requires federal agencies to increase their procurement of biobased and biomanufactured products to drive domestic demand
  • Authorizes $5 billion in funding over 5 years to implement the Act's provisions

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Biomanufacturing companies and suppliers would benefit from new tax credits and grants to expand operations and hire workers
  • Workers in biomanufacturing, biotechnology, and related fields would gain access to new training and job opportunities
  • Federal agencies and the U.S. government would increase their use of domestically produced biobased goods
  • Local and regional economies with biomanufacturing clusters could see economic growth and job creation

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act of 2025 was introduced in the House of Representatives on August 1, 2025. It has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which will hold hearings and mark up the bill before potentially sending it to the full House for a vote. If passed by the House, the bill would then move to the Senate for further consideration. The legislation aims to be enacted into law by the end of 2025 to begin implementation in 2026.
