The Buy American Act and Build America, Buy America Act

The intent of the AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) that President Barack Obama signed into law on Feb. 17, 2009, is to reinvigorate our economy with new projects that put Americans back to work. There is also a provision in the act that invokes the BUY AMERICAN ACT, which will help bring more manufacturers into the process and thus compound the economic boost by allowing more industries to support new projects. Additionally, TOTO USA is proud to adhere to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”), Pub. L. No. 117-58, which includes the BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA ACT (“BABA”). Pub. L. No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52, signed into law by President Biden on Nov. 15, 2021.
