Bill Summary
By Mr. Fernandes of Milford, a petition of John V. Fernandes and Jeffrey N. Roy that the State Purchasing Agent be directed to give preference to products or services manufactured or produced in the United States. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Chapter 7 of the General Laws by adding a new section that directs the State Purchasing Agent to prioritize products or services manufactured or produced in the United States whenever practical and legally permissible, including under federal law and treaties. This preference should not result in any compromise on price or quality, and importantly, any surplus products or articles already produced by other state departments, institutions, or agencies must always be given preference.
