Bill Summary
CONCERNING MEASURES TO LIMIT THE GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL FOR CERTAIN MATERIALS USED IN PUBLIC PROJECTS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill, the "Buy Clean Colorado Act," establishes maximum acceptable global warming potential (GWP) limits for certain materials used in public construction projects in Colorado, except for maintenance programs and road, highway, or bridge projects. The Office of the State Architect will set the maximum GWP limits based on industry averages, and designers and contractors must submit environmental product declarations to show their materials meet these limits. The Department of Transportation will also establish a policy to track and report GHG emissions from eligible materials used in public transportation projects. The bill aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacturing and transport of materials used in public projects without increasing project costs.
