HB153

Low-Carbon Construction Material Rebate Act establishes rebates for low-carbon construction materials to reduce emissions.

The Low-Carbon Construction Material Rebate Act creates a rebate program for low-carbon construction materials to incentivize reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The Department of Environment will establish emissions baselines and benchmarks, which may be 15% lower than baselines. Material buyers must submit environmental product declarations and other documentation to qualify for rebates. The department will prioritize rebates based on emissions reductions and may audit submissions. The act also includes antifraud provisions and establishes a low-carbon construction material rebate fund.
