HARRISBURG – PA House lawmakers have approved legislation designed to benefit U.S. workers by requiring construction work receiving public funding or tax incentives to use American-made steel. State law already requires state and municipal governments to use American-made steel in their projects, but House Bill 1018 would extend that requirement to private entities receiving public money. Bill sponsor, Cambria County Rep. Frank Burns, who is also co-chairman of the state House Steel Caucus, said if tax dollars are spent on a project, then it should be made with American steel produced by workers right here in the United States.
