Buy Green Act of 2024

The Buy Green Act of 2024 establishes a $1.5 trillion Clean Energy Fund to promote the procurement of environmentally responsible products across government and industry. It requires Federal agencies to purchase covered products (including zero-emission vehicles, energy-efficient appliances, and low-carbon building materials), with 20% of funds allocated to small businesses and covered small businesses. The bill sets labor standards including a minimum wage of $17/hour (with annual increases), fair scheduling requirements, and preferences for hiring from frontline communities. States, tribes, and local governments can apply for grants to purchase covered products, with priority given to school bus electrification in disadvantaged communities. An Oversight Advisory Board will monitor implementation to ensure compliance with environmental and labor requirements.
