## Summary

**This bill would create a new _tax credit for U.S.-origin cotton and products made from it_** to encourage domestic use of American cotton and require trustworthy supply-chain tracing. It ties payments to documented pound volumes, an applicable percentage, and an applicable cotton market price. - Domestic cotton growers and U.S. textile sellers would be able to claim a per-pound credit for eligible articles they sell. The credit equals documented pounds times an applicable percentage times an applicable cotton market price and would be part of the general business credit. - Textile processors of qualified yarn and fabric could increase the credit with optional multipliers of 1.6x for yarn and 6.5x for fabric, subject to an election to apply those multipliers. - Claimants would need permanent bale identification numbers and digital tracing to prove origin, follow anti-double-credit rules, and meet reporting requirements. The credit would be integrated into existing tax provisions and could be transferred under new transferability rules, and it would apply to eligible articles sold after enactment.
