Bill overview
The Buy Clean Transparency Act of 2019 requires federal agencies to assess the greenhouse gas impacts of the products they purchase. It mandates that agencies publish these assessments and develop a methodology for calculating the ‘climate product cost’ of eligible materials like steel and glass. The act also directs agencies to report on their procurement practices, including contracts with foreign suppliers and the total cost of materials produced outside the United States, to promote more environmentally conscious purchasing decisions.
