National Commission on Robotics Act

This legislation mandates the establishment of an independent Commission on American Leadership in Robotics within 30 days of enactment. The Commission, comprising 18 members appointed by congressional leaders and the President, is tasked with thoroughly examining robotics as it relates to interstate and foreign commerce, economic competitiveness, and national security. Members must be recognized experts in robotics or its applications in either the private or public sector. The Commission's review will encompass the United States' competitiveness in robotics, strategies to maintain technological advantage, international developments, and methods to foster investments and strategic partnerships. It will also consider workforce incentives for robotics talent and the global and domestic supply chain for robotics, including risks and policies to boost U.S. manufacturing. The Commission is required to submit an interim report within one year and a final report with comprehensive recommendations to Congress and the President within two years of its establishment. Federal departments and agencies are mandated to cooperate fully with the Commission, providing necessary information and support, and the Commission will terminate 18 months after submitting its final report.
