An Act to promote Massachusetts manufacturers

HD 1641 requires Massachusetts state agencies to purchase at least 10% of the products they buy from businesses headquartered in Massachusetts, as defined under Chapter 23A. This directly affects state agencies responsible for procurement and Massachusetts manufacturers meeting the eligibility criteria. The bill establishes a mandatory procurement minimum with a waiver process for exceptions, as outlined in the new Section 24 of Chapter 30B. It aims to support local manufacturing by directing state purchasing power toward in-state businesses.
