Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Requiring all construction contracts to contain a provision that the manufactured goods be manufactured in the United States could increase construction costs to all state agencies, boards, commissions and institutions, including the higher educational institutions, if these goods are more expensive than those manufactured elsewhere and a waiver is not granted.  No estimate of the potential increase can be made at this time.
	This bill includes a General Fund appropriation of $89,764 in fiscal year 2018-19 for the Department of Administrative and Financial Services for a Management Analyst II position to coordinate the contractual requirements concerning the origin of manufactured goods and materials.
