President Biden signed the bipartisan Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act of 2022 to tackle some of the biggest manufacturing and innovation challenges of our time. The act will invest $50 billion through the Department of Commerce’s CHIPS for America Fund to revitalize the domestic semiconductor industry, protect American national and economic security, preserve U.S. leadership in the industries of the future, create good-paying jobs and build strong communities here in the United States.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provide supportive services, meet workforce needs and help families build economic security and mobility. Recently, both programs have received increased attention. Both are federally directed programs; however, legislatures establish the policy landscape for how they are implemented in their states. Join Dana Thomson, a senior research scientist from Child Trends and other state policy leaders from health and human services to prepare for potential program changes to SNAP and TANF, learn about other states’ innovations and inform NCSL’s federal advocacy positions.

NCSL policy staff will preview hot topics many legislatures are likely to confront in 2023. Presenters will cover child welfare; child support and family law; early childhood; and food, housing and economic security. Be among the first to tap into new resources on significant state legislation enacted in 2022.
