8 Sec. 2. It is hereby found and declared by the Illinois

10 (1) The production of domestic manufactured commodities

12 family incomes of hundreds of thousands of people in this
13 State and, in turn, the jobs and family incomes of millions
14 of persons in the United States;
15 (2) The taxes paid to the State and its political
16 subdivisions by employers and employees engaged in the
17 production and sale of domestic steel products, including
18 steel products, are a large source of public revenues in the
19 State;
20 (3) The economy and general welfare of this State and
21 its people, as well as the economy and general welfare of the
22 United States, are inseparably related to the preservation
23 and development of industry in this State, as well as all the
24 other states of this nation.
25 The General Assembly therefore declares it to be the
26 policy of the State of Illinois to that all public officers
27 and agencies should aid and promote the economy of the State
28 and the United States by specifying materials, commodities,
29 and goods manufactured or steel products produced in the
30 United States, including steel products, in all State
31 purchases and contracts for construction, reconstruction,
32 repair, improvement or maintenance of public works.
