The Paving the Way for American Industry Act amends federal infrastructure law to expand what counts as American-made materials for construction projects funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Specifically, the bill adds yellow organic pigments—used in road, highway, and airport surface markings—to the list of materials that must be produced in the United States to qualify for federal infrastructure funding. The change applies immediately to pigments used in water-based paints for road markings, and extends to all paint formulas containing these pigments beginning two years after the law takes effect. The Office of Management and Budget must update its implementation guidance within 90 days to reflect these new requirements. The legislation is intended to support domestic pigment manufacturers and ensure that federal infrastructure dollars support American-made products.
