Amends the Department of Transportation Law (rather than the Department of Central Management Services Law) of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Department of Transportation (rather than the Department of Central Management Services), in consultation and collaboration with the Department of Central Management Services and the Capital Development Board (rather than without express provisions for consultation or collaboration), shall develop standards (rather than shall establish a maximum Global Warming Potential standard) for State purchases of appliances, concrete, asphalt, steel, and other building materials (rather than State purchases of vehicles, appliances, and building materials for use in State-funded infrastructure projects), subject to appropriation or the award of grant funding for this purpose (rather than without express limitations based on funding). Provides that, in developing these standards, the establishment of a maximum acceptable Global Warming Potential standard, as well as ways to promote and facilitate the use of life cycle assessments and environmental product declarations, shall be considered when considering bids for State-funded infrastructure projects.
