Bill Summary
Amending the act of December 10, 1974 (P.L.852, No.287), entitled "An act to protect the public health and safety by preventing excavation or demolition work from damaging underground lines used in providing electricity, communication, gas, propane, oil delivery, oil product delivery, sewage, water or other service; imposing duties upon the providers of such service, recorders of deeds, and persons and other entities preparing drawings or performing excavation or demolition work; and prescribing penalties," requiring the use of steel products produced in the United States.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Underground Utility Line Protection Law to require that any construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, improvement, or maintenance of gathering lines (pipelines used to transport natural gas from a production facility to a transmission line) must exclusively use steel products produced in the United States. The bill defines "steel products" by referencing the existing Steel Products Procurement Act and specifies that these requirements will apply to gathering line construction performed on or after the bill's effective date, which is 60 days after enactment. The legislation aims to promote domestic steel manufacturing by mandating the use of U.S.-produced steel in natural gas infrastructure projects, ensuring that steel used in gathering line work is sourced from within the United States. This requirement will impact companies involved in natural gas infrastructure development by requiring them to procure steel products specifically manufactured in the United States for their gathering line projects.
