HB 2617 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of October 22, 2014 (P.L.2611, No.165), known as the State Agency Green Technology Implementation Act, further providing for the title of the act, for short title, for legislative intent, for definitions and for authority of Secretary of General Services.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's State Agency Green Technology Implementation Act to broaden the scope of technologies that state agencies can test, specifically adding "emerging" and "cost-reductive" options alongside existing energy-efficient ones. The legislation grants the Secretary of General Services the authority to approve pilot programs for new technologies that meet high-performance building standards and have been independently certified or previously used by another state government. By requiring proof of energy savings and independent assessments for cost-reduction projects, the bill aims to ensure that state agencies only adopt solutions that are validated for their effectiveness before wider implementation.
