AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the General Services Administration and the Department of Defense, when contracting to build, alter, buy, or lease federal buildings and military installations, to give priority to buildings that use innovative wood products such as mass timber. The wood products must be made at U.S. facilities and harvested from U.S. forestlands that meet responsible sourcing standards. When buying these products, the agencies would give preference to wood from forest restoration work, wildfire-prevention forest management, or underserved forest owners such as Tribal and small family forests. The General Services Administration, working with the Department of Agriculture, would study the climate impact of new federal buildings that use these wood products and report the results to Congress and the public.
