Bill Summary
This bill requires that a state agency contract involving steel must contain a provision requiring any steel purchased with state moneys or tax credits to be manufactured in the United States.
AI Summary
This bill requires state agencies in Iowa to include a provision in their contracts mandating that any steel purchased using state money or tax credits must be manufactured in the United States. The bill adds a new section to the state's administrative code that ensures when state agencies enter into contracts involving steel, they must specify that the steel be domestically produced. This provision aims to support the U.S. steel industry and ensure that state funds are used to purchase steel made by American workers. By requiring this "Made in USA" stipulation, the bill seeks to promote domestic manufacturing and potentially protect local jobs in the steel production sector.
