Bill > S199

This bill mandates the creation and implementation of an environmental sustainability plan for the State House Complex, requiring the commission responsible for the complex to adopt and update this plan at least every four years, and to issue an annual progress report. The plan must include initiatives for energy efficiency, water conservation, adherence to green building standards like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), consideration for sustainable food services and serviceware, methods to reduce the complex's carbon footprint, and performance measures to track progress, along with an estimate of costs and potential funding sources. The bill also amends existing law to ensure that contracts related to the complex consider this sustainability plan and establishes an advisory committee of environmental sustainability experts to assist the commission. Furthermore, any alterations to projects involving the environmental sustainability of the State House Complex will require commission approval.
