This bill establishes the Automotive Supply Chain Resilience and Expansion Act to support Alabama's automotive industry against federal tariff disruptions. It creates several financial programs including a $10 million grant fund for companies facing tariff-related hardships, a tax credit and loan program for relocating or expanding supply chains, and an export assistance program to help businesses find new international markets. The legislation also allows state procurement agencies to adjust bidding rules to account for tariff costs and establishes a task force to monitor trade impacts and recommend policy responses. These measures are designed to help automotive manufacturers and suppliers maintain operations, retain jobs, and reduce reliance on tariff-affected imports.
