Establishes the Buy Clean Massachusetts Program to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects.

The Buy Clean Massachusetts Program aims to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects by requiring the use of lower-carbon materials. Beginning July 1, 2027, awarding authorities must use performance-based specifications for concrete in construction contracts. The Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance must develop a publicly accessible database for environmental product declarations and health product declarations. A technical work group will identify barriers and opportunities for lower-carbon materials and recommend policies.
