Bill > S769

This bill requires the State Capitol Joint Management Commission to prepare, adopt, and implement an environmental sustainability plan for the State House Capitol Complex. The plan must include initiatives to improve energy savings and efficiency, water conservation techniques, applicable principles from the United States Green Building Council, involvement of food services, consideration of methods to reduce carbon emissions, and the establishment of performance measures to be reported annually. The bill also ensures that the commission considers environmentally sustainable options in contracting and management of the complex, and appoints an advisory committee of experts to assist with the plan. The goal is to promote sustainable design, development, and practices that protect environmental resources and systems while supporting the economy and society.
