Summary

The bill changes the certification rules for new state agency buildings and major renovations larger than 10,000 square feet. Projects can now earn LEED Gold (or higher) or Three Green Globes (or higher), and may use LEED Silver or Two Green Globes if justified. The change gives agencies more flexibility while still requiring high environmental performance.
