Bill 119 s 1094, also known as the "Innovative Wood Products in Public Buildings Act," aims to promote the use of innovative wood products in the construction of public buildings. The bill proposes to establish a contracting preference for public buildings that utilize these innovative wood products, which are defined as wood products that have been processed or manufactured in a way that enhances their performance, durability, or sustainability.

The goal of this legislation is to support the use of wood as a sustainable building material and to incentivize the development and adoption of innovative wood products in the construction industry.
