The National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology's September 2026 newsletter says H.R. 10164 was introduced August 27 in the House, names Bob Latta and Debbie Dingell as House sponsors, and says it would require Commerce to assess supply-chain inputs, commercialization barriers, and reliance on foreign adversaries.
Assessments
Latta introduced H.R. 10164, the BEDROCK Act, on August 27, 2026, and the bill text appears to match the promised federal leadership, supply-chain assessment, action-plan, and commercialization-pathway elements. But as of September 5, 2026, the record only shows introduction and committee referral, not passage, enactment, or implementation of the promised policy outcome. This is a serious same-term legislative attempt, so it earns an effort badge but is not fulfilled.
