Require US-produced iron, steel be used on state-funded projects

Summary

The bill amends Ohio law so that any building, highway, water‑works, or sewer project that receives state capital money must purchase iron and steel that is produced entirely in the United States. Small amounts of foreign steel are allowed only under specific exemptions, and violations can trigger civil penalties that are paid to local school districts. The measure aims to protect domestic steel jobs while giving agencies a narrow path to waive the rule when necessary.
