The "sustainable building materials act" aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in construction by enacting two main components. Part A provides a sales tax exemption for certain low-carbon building materials, including concrete, steel, engineered wood products, and insulation. Part B establishes a grant program for concrete manufacturers to develop environmental product declarations, which provide transparent information about a product's environmental impact. The act seeks to encourage the use of low-carbon materials in construction to meet the state's climate goals.
