Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to prioritize buying wood products made using new manufacturing techniques when constructing or renovating public buildings. This preference would apply to federal construction projects and could affect timber companies, construction firms, and government agencies that manage building projects. The goal is to boost demand for innovative wood products while potentially supporting domestic forestry and construction industries.
