Paving the Way for American Industry Act

This bill amends the Build America, Buy America Act to require that all yellow organic pigments used in road, highway, and airport surface marking paints be classified as "construction materials" for federal procurement purposes. Starting immediately upon enactment, these pigments count as construction materials for water-based paints, with full coverage for all paint formulas taking effect two years later. The bill mandates that such pigments must be "produced in the United States," meaning all manufacturing steps - from initial material combination through chemical synthesis - must occur domestically. This directly affects paint manufacturers and government agencies purchasing road-marking materials, requiring them to source pigments made entirely within U.S. borders.
