AN ACT CREATING A STATE PROCUREMENT STANDARD FOR THE USE OF LOW-EMBODIED CARBON CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS IN CERTAIN STATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

HB 6027 requires the Departments of Administrative Services and Transportation to create a procurement standard that prefers low-carbon construction materials like concrete and mass timber for state projects they administer. This directly affects state contractors and agencies working on projects under these departments, shifting purchasing toward materials with lower carbon footprints. The bill mandates developing a specific standard to favor such materials, aiming to reduce emissions from state construction. It focuses on concrete policy changes in procurement practices, not on broader environmental goals or future outcomes.
