SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Department of General Services; light-colored roofing and other materials for state buildings.  Requires the Division of Purchases and Supply to adopt regulations that require state public bodies to procure only light-colored materials for paving state parking lots and to provide for waivers of this requirement when the Division of Purchases and Supply determines that a bona fide operational, temporary, safety, or specific aesthetic need is indicated or that such paving materials are not cost effective over the life cycle of the materials. The bill also requires the Division of Engineering and Buildings to adopt standards requiring the installation of light-colored roofing materials during construction of new state buildings and for replacement roofing on existing state buildings to ensure energy savings and reduce reflective heat. The roofing standards shall include provision for waivers of this requirement when the Division Engineering and Buildings determines that a bona fide operational, temporary, safety, or specific aesthetic need is indicated or that such roofing materials are not cost effective over the life cycle of the materials.
