Coal Combustion By-Product Materials - Grant Program and Procurement Preference

Summary

The bill sets up a Maryland Department of the Environment grant program to fund cement, concrete and other construction material makers that incorporate state‑sourced coal‑combustion by‑products. It also requires every state agency to give bidding preference to contractors that use those by‑products. The goal is to turn waste into a useful feedstock, create jobs in communities near coal‑by‑product sites, and cut greenhouse‑gas emissions.
