The bill would direct the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with the General Services Administration, to develop standards within 180 days to prohibit Federal funds and Government-issued purchase cards from being used to procure solar panels manufactured or assembled by covered entities.

The bill would also require congressional reporting and studies concerning solar panel procurement, domestic production, technology, supply chains, and workforce.
