The Projects Goods Bill
Iowa wants state projects to buy American made goods
A bill for an act relating to projects involving state moneys or tax credits.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill says that any project using state money or tax credits must buy materials made in the United States if possible.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
When the state spends your tax dollars on a big project, that money should stay close to home. This bill makes sure builders use American-made materials whenever they can. It helps support local workers and businesses instead of sending money overseas.
