71 Pa. Stat. § 773.101

Current through Pa Acts 2024-53, 2024-56 through 2024-111

Section 773.101 - Findings

It is hereby determined by the General Assembly of Pennsylvania and declared as a matter of legislative findings that:

(1) It has long been the policy of the Commonwealth not to purchase any supplies, equipment, or materials manufactured in any foreign country which prohibits the specification for or use of supplies, equipment, or materials manufactured in Pennsylvania.

(2) Many world trading countries, directly or indirectly by statute, regulation, policy, procedure, or practice, grant or bestow a preference for supplies, equipment or materials manufactured in their country, thereby discriminating against the use of supplies, equipment or materials manufactured in the Commonwealth.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly therefore declares it to be the policy of the Commonwealth that aluminum and steel products made in the United States should be purchased by all public agencies in preference to aluminum and steel products made in foreign countries which discriminate against supplies, equipment or materials manufactured in Pennsylvania.
