AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study the feasibility of incorporating conductive concrete in future public works projects. Conductive concrete refers to a type of concrete that contains steel shavings and carbon particles, which can melt ice and snow while remaining safe to the touch. The commission, which will be led by a school of engineering within the state university of Massachusetts in cooperation with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will examine the cost, feasibility, effectiveness, and potential cost savings of using conductive concrete for constructing roads and sidewalks. The commission is required to submit its recommendations and any proposed legislation to the state legislature by December 1, 2024.
