Plain-English summary
Domestic Preferences for Building America Act
This bill prioritizes U.S. contractors with respect to certain federally funded infrastructure projects.
Specifically, amounts made available through a program for federal financial assistance may be obligated for an infrastructure project with a value of $100 million or more only if the recipient of such amounts certifies that, in obligating the amounts
- subject to the occurrence of adequate competition, the recipient shall award contracts only to U.S. persons and qualified U.S. joint ventures; and
- the recipient shall not award contracts to an entity that is owned or controlled by a corporation based in a country that has been identified as a nonmarket economy country, was included by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on the priority watch list, and is subject to certain monitoring by the USTR.
