AI Summary

This bill aims to promote American manufacturing by requiring that iron, steel, fabricated steel, and manufactured goods used in state or municipal construction projects be manufactured in the United States. The bill includes exceptions where applying this requirement would be inconsistent with the public interest, if the materials are not available in sufficient quantities or quality in the U.S., or if including domestic materials would increase the project cost by more than 25%. The bill also requires public notice and comment periods before granting waivers, and imposes penalties for intentionally misrepresenting a product as made in the U.S. when it was not.
