Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Provides that, when a State contract is to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, an otherwise qualified bidder who will fulfill the contract through the use of low embodied carbon concrete may be given preference over other bidders unable to do so if the cost included in the bid using low embodied carbon concrete is not more than 10% greater than the cost in the bid not using low embodied carbon concrete. Provides that contracts entered into under the provisions may also include, at the discretion of the contracting State agency, a price preference of up to 10% for environmentally preferable materials. Provides that, if federal funds are to be used for a contract that is awarded under the provisions, then the contracting State agency shall conduct the procurement and include in the contract any specifications needed to comply with federal procurement standards. Provides that, if the application of the provisions would create a conflict with a federal law or a federal regulation, then the provisions do not apply. Defines "low embodied carbon concrete".
