Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 3, 1978 (P.L.6, No.3), entitled "An act to promote the general welfare and stimulate the economy of the Commonwealth by requiring that all public bodies, including the Commonwealth, its political subdivisions, and all authorities, include in all contracts for construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, improvement or maintenance of improvements of a permanent or temporary nature, a provision that if any steel products are to be used in the performance of the contract only steel products produced in the United States shall be used, and imposing liability for violation of this act," further providing for contracts for public works to use or supply steel products and for restrictions on payments by public agencies under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Steel Products Procurement Act to further require the use of steel products produced in the United States for public works projects and projects receiving public funding or tax incentives. It also restricts payments by public agencies to contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, or suppliers who do not comply with the requirement to use U.S.-made steel products. The bill provides exceptions where U.S.-made steel products are not available in sufficient quantities, and establishes a process for the Department of General Services to identify exempt machinery and equipment steel products. The bill also imposes penalties, including a five-year ban on bidding for public contracts, for willful violations of the steel product requirements.
