What’s in it
AI summary State agencies and businesses receiving state money currently prioritize buying products made in Iowa or the United States. This new law would require any project funded by state money or tax credits to use only American-made products and materials whenever possible.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, the department of administrative services must give preference to purchasing American-made products and purchases from American-based businesses if the life cycle costs are comparable to those of products sold by foreign businesses. In addition, as a condition of receiving an annual appropriation relating to state government administration and regulation, an entity receiving the appropriation must give first preference when purchasing a product to an Iowa product or a product produced by an Iowa-based business, and second preference to a United States product or a product produced by a business based in the United States. This bill requires that a contract for a project funded with state moneys or tax credits must include a provision requiring only products and materials manufactured in the United States be purchased for the project if it is possible to do so.
