Assessments
Stevens made and advanced federal legislative efforts aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on China, including critical materials, Chinese connected vehicles, aluminum supply chains, and research-security measures. Most importantly, the CHIPS and Science Act became public law on August 9, 2022, funding domestic semiconductor production and secure semiconductor supply chains, which directly addresses a core area of China-related supply dependence. Stevens voted for final passage and credibly claimed a committee role in shaping the Act, giving her more than incidental credit for legislation that became law while she was serving in Congress. The later bills reinforce continued leadership but are not necessary for the delivery finding.
