~ Today, Governor Greg Abbott announced his support for the proposed Texas CHIPS Act legislation at a press conference at the Texas Capitol in Austin. The proposed legislation is designed to leverage Texas' investments in the semiconductor industry, encourage semiconductor-related companies to expand in the state, and maintain Texas' position as the nation's leader in semiconductor manufacturing.
At the press conference, Governor Abbott stated, "Texas is the birthplace of the integrated circuit, and we have since risen as the number one state in America for semiconductor manufacturing. In order to achieve our promise for the remainder of this century, we need to pass the Texas CHIPS Act. This is a national competition to design and build the future of semiconductors, and it is a race that Texas must win for our state, our workforce, our national security, and our future. With this legislation, Texas will not only remain number one in America for semiconductors—we will be number one in the world. I thank Chairman Bonnen and Chairman Huffman for proposing this important legislation so that Texas can have the tools needed to continue our dominance in this critical industry."
