Paving the Way for American Industry Act

The Paving the Way for American Industry Act amends a provision of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to require that yellow organic pigments used in road, highway, and airport surface markings must be manufactured entirely within the United States. Specifically, it mandates that the entire manufacturing process - from combining materials through the chemical reaction forming the pigment - must occur domestically, including the creation of new molecular structures. This requirement applies immediately to pigments in water-based paints for surface markings, with full implementation for all formulas starting two years after the bill's enactment. The Office of Management and Budget must update relevant guidance within 90 days to reflect this change.
