TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the state finance law, the economic
impacts on public health and the environment. These impacts impose
conscious manufacturers. The Healthy and Green Procurement Act is
based on a precautionary approach to take anticipatory action to
prevent harm. Where credible evidence of a threat or harm to human
health or the environment exists, even when the exact nature and full
magnitude of a threat or harm is not yet proven, lack of full
scientific certainty about cause and effect shall not be viewed as a
sufficient reason to fail to consider a potentially adverse impact
when assessing a commodity, service or technology. Protecting public
health and the environment is a natural extension of, and consistent
with, the traditional considerations associated with state procurement
practice, including lowest price, best value, quality, cost and
efficiency. Now, determining quality, value and efficiency shall
include the consideration of public health and environmental impacts.
For instance, in considering natural resource impacts, the state would
consider energy and water use , renewable resource consumption,
recycled content, recyclability, waste prevention, remanufactured or
bio-based content, and the potential for long-term use through product
durability, reparability, and reuse. When comparing potential adverse
health and environmental impacts, the state would consider the
following factors if trade-offs must be made among such impacts: the
overriding importance of protecting human health and the environment;
