Massachusetts S2167 requires public agencies to mandate U.S.-made iron, steel, fabricated steel, and manufactured goods for public projects exceeding $500,000. The law prohibits intentional misrepresentation of such goods' origin. Exceptions apply if insufficient U.S.-made materials are available, if it conflicts with public interest, or if it increases project costs by over 25%. The Attorney General enforces compliance, and intentional violators are ineligible for state contracts.
