Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) Passes 2 Bipartisan Bills Through the U.S. House Investing in and Protecting U.S. Innovation

March 25, 2025 Press Release Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Haley Stevens (D-MI) led floor debate to pass eight pieces of bipartisan legislation to secure America’s leadership in science, STEM, and innovation in the mid-21st century, including 2 bills she authored or co-authored, the DOE and NSF Interagency Research Act and theU.S. Research Protection Act . “The House passage of the bipartisan DOE & NSF Interagency Research Act and the U.S. Research Protection Act , alongside six other pieces of legislation to invest in our critical federal scientific enterprise is exactly what we should be doing in the Congress,” said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) . “By enhancing collaboration between the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, my DOE & NSF Interagency Research Act will drive the development of next-generation technologies, secure supply chains, and train the future STEM workforce to ensure the United States wins the mid-21st century. The U.S. Research Protection Act strengthens the CHIPS Act, which I helped write, by providing much-needed clarity to ensure our agencies, institutions, and researchers can effectively protect our nation against adversarial threats. Each of these bills have now passed the House twice, and I encourage the Senate to take them up for speedy passage.” Rep. Stevens is a leading voice for innovation, manufacturing, and outcompeting the Chinese Communist Party. Since being sworn in in 2019, she has had 5 science bills signed into law across two Administrations. ###
