Certain materials in covered state funded projects to be manufactured in the United States requirement provision

This bill requires that cement, concrete, and steel used in state-funded infrastructure, transportation, housing, and public facility projects be manufactured in the United States. The law applies to all procurement contracts authorized after its enactment and defines "made in the United States" as materials where foreign components cost less than five percent of the total. Agencies may grant waivers if such materials are unavailable, would increase project costs by more than 25 percent, or are needed for an emergency, with all waivers published online within 30 days. Additionally, the bill directs state officials to provide guidance on these requirements and update policies to offer a bid preference to projects committing to using products made in Minnesota.
