Summary

The bill adds a new section to Minnesota Statutes that obligates any infrastructure, transportation, housing, school, or public‑facility project receiving state money to purchase cement, concrete, and steel whose components are at least 95% U.S.‑produced. Agencies may grant waivers if the materials are unavailable, would raise costs by more than 25%, or an emergency demands immediate procurement, and waivers must be posted online.
