Bill > H4182

This bill aims to promote the use of green building materials by establishing maximum acceptable greenhouse gas emissions for certain eligible materials used in building projects, capital facilities, and construction. The bill requires the state commissioner to promulgate regulations setting these maximum emissions levels, and to review and potentially lower the limits every four years. The bill also requires contractors to submit environmental product declarations for the materials they use, and considers a bidder's job standards and worker benefits when awarding contracts. The bill provides oversight by requiring the commissioner to report on the methodology used to develop and review the emissions limits.
