GovInfo bill text lists Mr. Mannion among the original House introducers/cosponsors of H.R. 8170, the MATCH Act. The bill says export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment are a U.S. defense of foundational technology and directs agencies to align allied controls, require licenses, and apply denial policies for covered equipment and facilities.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Mannion took concrete same-term legislative action by joining the bipartisan MATCH Act at introduction. The bill directly targets advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment export controls, allied alignment, adversary access, and national security concerns matching the commitment.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee announced it advanced the MATCH Act during markup. The release says the bill would limit China's access to critical machines and parts needed to make advanced chips and requires Commerce and State reviews of chokepoint controls and covered Chinese facilities.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill Mannion joined moved beyond introduction when the House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced it on April 22, 2026. No newer official action was found in the September 2-4 lookback window, so the record supports delivered legislative advancement but not enactment into law.

Mannion took concrete same-term legislative action by joining H.R. 8170, the MATCH Act, which directly addresses export controls on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, allied alignment, China-related restrictions, semiconductor leadership, jobs, and national security. The House Foreign Affairs Committee later advanced the bill during the same congressional term, satisfying the promise to advance legislation. The evidence supports legislative advancement, not enactment, but the promise was framed as advancing legislation rather than passing a law.
