CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1207

---

Introduced by Senator Dahle

February 15, 2024

---

An act to amend Section 3501 of the Public Contract Code, relating to public contracts.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1207, as introduced, Dahle. Buy Clean California Act: eligible materials.

Existing law, the Buy Clean California Act, requires the Department of General Services, by January 1, 2022, to establish and publish in the State Contracting Manual, in a department management memorandum, or on the department’s internet website, a maximum acceptable global warming potential for each category of eligible materials, as defined, in accordance with specified requirements. Existing law defines “eligible materials” for those purposes to mean carbon steel rebar, flat glass, mineral wool board insulation, or structural steel. By January 1, 2025, and every 3 years thereafter, existing law requires the department to review the maximum acceptable global warming potential for each category of eligible materials, as provided.

This bill would revise the definition of “eligible materials” to delete mineral wool board insulation and additionally include insulation.
