What it does
The California Buy American Act requires that a governing body of any political subdivision, municipal corporation, or district, and any public officer or person charged with the letting of contracts for the construction, alteration, or repair of public works or for purchasing materials for public use to only let those contracts to a person who agrees to use or supply materials produced or manufactured in the United States, as prescribed. Existing law does not apply this requirement to specified medical and scientific equipment and instruments, sewing machines, printing presses, or office machines or supplies, as specified.
