The bill amends the Steel Products Procurement Act to enhance the requirements for the use of steel products in public works projects that receive public funding or tax incentives. It introduces a new subsection that mandates any person initiating such projects to use steel products produced in the United States if any steel is to be used or supplied. This requirement extends to all subcontracts associated with the project, ensuring compliance throughout the entire construction process.

Additionally, the bill establishes stricter conditions for public agencies regarding payments made to contractors. It specifies that no public agency can authorize payments unless the contractor provides adequate documentation proving that the steel products used were melted and manufactured in the United States. If payments are made in violation of this provision, they can be recovered from the responsible contractor, subcontractor, manufacturer, or supplier by the public agency or the Attorney General of Pennsylvania. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
