Fiscal estimate received
Summary
The bill directs Wisconsin state agencies and municipalities to give preference to materials manufactured in the United States when purchasing for public projects, unless federal law, a treaty, or specific exemptions apply. It adds contract language that obligates contractors to use U.S.-made materials and bars bidding methods that favor geographic location. The goal is to support domestic manufacturing while allowing flexibility when supplies are insufficient or other constraints exist.
