- Directs the Secretary to support demonstration projects that favor regional and technological diversity and greater greenhouse gas reductions, and allows the Secretary to end them once low-emissions materials are commercially available domestically at comparable prices.
- Establishes a technical assistance program, in consultation with the Transportation Department, NIST, GSA, and EPA, to help entities with data collection, lifecycle assessments, permitting, and testing.
- Terminates the section seven years after enactment and amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to add it as Section 40523.
