HB472

Kentucky HB472 amends public contract laws to require certain materials be U.S.-made and mandates energy savings contracts for public buildings.

Kentucky HB472 revises public contract laws to require iron, steel, and aluminum used in public building construction to be manufactured in the United States. It also mandates that local governments enter into guaranteed energy savings contracts for public buildings, ensuring energy or operational cost savings plus capital cost avoidance meet or exceed the costs of the energy conservation measures. The bill outlines procedures for requesting waivers from U.S.-made material requirements and details the evaluation criteria for energy conservation proposals.
