Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Requiring all construction contracts to contain a provision that the manufactured goods be manufactured in the United States could increase construction costs to the Department of Transportation and other state agencies and the State's higher educational institutions if contracted goods are less expensive than those manufactured in the United States and a waiver is not granted. The Department of Administrative and Financial Services may incur additional costs to review all contracts to implement and enforce the waiver process. No estimate of any increased cost is made at this time.
