Invent Here, Make Here Act of 2024
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the Senate without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 118th Congress ended.

Invent Here, Make Here Act of 2023
This bill (1) modifies the licensing requirements with respect to inventions developed with federal funds, and (2) requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology to coordinate with other agencies to support the domestic development of commercial products based on research conducted by federal agencies.
Generally, subject to individual waivers, the licensing for inventions developed with federal funds requires that the manufacture of products embodying or using such inventions occurs substantially in the United States. The bill (1) prohibits waivers of this requirement with respect to countries of concern (North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, or a country determined to be engaged in conduct detrimental to U.S. security), and (2) requires any such waiver to comply with the procedures established by the Made in America Office.
