Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to consider using mass timber (engineered wood products made from smaller trees) in new federal building construction projects, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions and supporting the timber industry. This would affect federal agencies responsible for building and maintaining government facilities, as well as timber companies and construction firms that would compete to supply these materials. The change aims to make federal buildings more environmentally friendly while creating economic opportunities in forestry and construction sectors.
