A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to study and issue a report on the feasibility and implementation of methods and criteria for expanding construction requirements to use more sustainable building products in State-funded and private construction projects.

This resolution directs the Joint State Government Commission to study how Pennsylvania can increase the use of sustainable building materials in both state-funded and private construction projects. The commission will investigate the feasibility of updating construction requirements to include eco-friendly options like recycled steel and low-carbon concrete, while also analyzing the potential cost impacts of such changes. The study aims to identify suitable materials for the state's infrastructure and project direct and indirect financial savings or increases if these requirements are adopted. The commission is required to submit its findings to several House committees within 180 days of the resolution's passage.
