15 are not necessary for the proper design, acquisition or
16 construction of such projects, the excess funds no longer

26 Section 80. Policy on jobs and materials.
27 (a) Jobs.--It is the declared policy of the Commonwealth

29 to the greatest extent possible, to provide for the creation of
30 jobs and the rehiring of the unemployed in this Commonwealth. In
20080S1503B2218 - 17 -

6 undertake a project contained in this act shall provide that any
7 steel or other products to be used or supplied in the
8 performance of this contract shall be required to be
9 manufactured by plants in the United States unless the secretary
10 determines, on a contract by contract basis, that certain
11 required products are not produced in the United States in
12 sufficient quantities to meet the requirements of the contract.
13 Such a determination and the reasons therefor shall be published
14 in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Decisions made under this
15 subsection shall not be inconsistent with the general provisions
16 of the act of March 3, 1978 (P.L.6, No.3), known as the Steel
17 Products Procurement Act.
18 (c) Minorities and women.--It is also the declared policy of
