State property; creating a differential pricing preference for the cost of goods manufactured or produced in the United States of America. Effective date.

SB 168 requires Oklahoma state agencies to purchase iron, steel, and aluminum made entirely in the U.S. for public construction projects exceeding $100,000, including buildings, roads, and infrastructure. It defines "made in the U.S." as requiring all manufacturing processes and components to originate domestically. Agencies may seek exemptions if materials aren't available domestically, would increase costs by over 25%, or conflict with public interest, with a 7-day public comment period for appeals. This applies to all state procurement contracts for public works but excludes projects covered by reciprocal trade agreements.
