Materials used in covered projects required to be manufactured in the United States, and waivers provided.
Introduction and first reading, referred to State Government Finance and Policy
Summary
The bill says any infrastructure, transportation, housing, school, or public‑facility project that gets state money must use cement, concrete, and steel that are at least 95% produced in the United States. Agencies can waive the rule if the materials aren’t available, would raise project costs by more than 25%, or an emergency demands immediate purchase, and any waiver must be posted online within 30 days. The commissioner must issue guidance and give a bid preference to projects that use Minnesota‑manufactured products.
