Hawaii SB1016 directs the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission to study the feasibility of a "buy clean" decarbonization policy.

Hawaii SB1016 requires the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission to analyze the potential for a "buy clean" decarbonization policy in Hawaii. This policy would leverage state purchasing power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by prioritizing materials with lower global warming potential in public infrastructure projects. The commission must submit a report with findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, by twenty days before the 2027 legislative session. The bill also appropriates funds for this study.
