1. § 1. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, no revenues of the Commonwealth, including any authority, board, department, instrumentality, institution, agency, or other unit of state government, shall be allocated, paid, or expended in connection with any construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or public works project unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods, including equipment, used in the project are produced in the United States.
§ 2. The provisions of this act shall not apply if the administrative head of the contracting state agency determines in writing that (i) iron, steel, and relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality or (ii) inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United Sates will increase the costs of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
