HR 3933 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Paving the Way for American Industry Act
To amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to include certain yellow coloring as construction materials for purposes of Build America, Buy America Act, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Build America, Buy America Act provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to include yellow organic pigments as qualifying American-made construction materials. The pigments must be produced domestically through a complete manufacturing process occurring in the United States. The bill applies to yellow organic pigments used in water-based paints for road, highway, and airport surface markings, with immediate applicability for newly used pigments and full applicability after two years for all road-marking formulas containing such pigments. The Office of Management and Budget must update guidance within 90 days to implement these requirements.
