Critical Minerals and Manufacturing Support Act
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Ruiz, Raul [D-CA-25]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would expand and tighten the advanced manufacturing tax credit to favor U.S. battery production and North American supply chains. It raises support for electrode active materials while adding strict sourcing and exclusion rules for critical minerals and components.
Show full summary
- Battery manufacturers: It increases the credit rate for electrode active materials from 10% to 25% and makes production costs include raw materials and recycled inputs. These changes apply to components produced and sold after December 31, 2025.
- Supply-chain rules: Tax credits would require critical minerals and battery components to meet North American content tests. Critical minerals must be 70% in 2026 and 80% afterward. Components must be 70% in 2026, 80% in 2027, 90% in 2028, and 100% for sales after December 31, 2028.
- Exclusions and definitions: Components are ineligible if any applicable minerals or subcomponents are extracted, processed, recycled, produced, or assembled by a "foreign entity of concern" as defined in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The bill broadens the definition of electrode active materials to add many precursor materials and explicitly defines silicon used in anodes.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Bigger battery-material manufacturing tax credit
If enacted, this bill would raise the production credit for electrode active materials from 10% to 25%. It would also expand what counts to include precursor chemicals, binders, and solid-state electrolytes. Examples of precursors include cobalt sulfate, manganese sulfate, and lithium hydroxide. Producers could count raw material costs, including mining or recovery from waste, in their production costs. These changes would apply to components produced and sold after December 31, 2025, when purity standards are met.
Stricter sourcing rules for battery credits
If enacted, claiming the battery component credit would require meeting sourcing tests. For 2026 sales, at least 70% of component value must be made in North America; this rises to 80% in 2027, 90% in 2028, and 100% after December 31, 2028. For critical minerals inside the component, at least 70% in 2026—and 80% after December 31, 2026—must come from the U.S., a U.S. free-trade partner, or be recycled in North America. A component would not qualify if both its minerals and other parts came from a foreign entity of concern. You would need to sell to an unrelated buyer and certify the percentages. These rules would apply to components produced and sold after December 31, 2025.
