HB 552 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the Aerospace Export Safeguard and Innovation Act; creates Aerospace Export Resilience Grant Program; creates Advanced Materials and Components Security Grant Program; creates Aerospace Trade Monitoring Board

This bill establishes the Aerospace Export Safeguard and Innovation Act to support Alabama's aerospace and defense industries against international trade disruptions. It creates four main programs: grants for companies facing tariff-related challenges, funding for research into domestic alternatives for aerospace materials, expanded export assistance services, and technical help for supply chain planning. The legislation also forms an Aerospace Trade Monitoring Council to track trade patterns and advise policymakers on potential risks. These programs would collectively provide up to $20 million in annual grants and establish new oversight mechanisms to help aerospace firms maintain operations and reduce supply chain vulnerabilities.
