Bill > HB06784

This bill aims to require the Department of Economic and Community Development to create a program that provides financial incentives to contractors and subcontractors in the state for using low-embodied carbon concrete in building projects. Low-embodied carbon concrete refers to concrete that has a reduced carbon footprint during its production process, which means it generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional concrete manufacturing. The goal of this legislation is to encourage more environmentally friendly construction practices by financially motivating contractors to choose concrete materials that have a lower environmental impact. By offering incentives, the state hopes to promote sustainability in the construction industry and help reduce overall carbon emissions associated with building projects.
