What’s in it

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 a state agency to purchase American-made products and materials from American-based businesses if it is possible to do so.
