Summary

What the bill does

This bill creates a tax credit for companies that buy American-grown cotton and turn it into products sold in the U.S. or in countries with trade deals. The credit amount depends on how much U.S. cotton is used and where it is processed. It also requires a digital tracking system to prove the cotton came from the U.S.

Why it matters

The stakes

Cotton farmers and textile companies would be directly affected. Supporters say it boosts U.S. agriculture and manufacturing, while critics worry it could raise costs for clothing and other cotton goods.
