An Act amending Title 62 (Procurement) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to general procurement provisions, providing for preference for bid or proposal.

HB 1017 amends Pennsylvania procurement law to give a 2% price preference to bids for American-made supplies, services, or construction. It directly affects all state government agencies and school entities (including public schools, charter schools, and school districts) when they award contracts. The bill requires agencies to subtract 2% from bids for items meeting the "American-made" definition (where at least 75% of material costs originate in the U.S.) and award contracts based on this adjusted price. Agencies must also verify this qualification with documentation before applying the preference. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
