requires units of State government to review specifications for the procurement of
goods and services currently in place and adjust those specifications to the maximum
degree possible to increase the purchases of EPPs.
Under current law, the Secretary of General Services, the Secretary of
Transportation, and the Chancellor of the University System of Maryland are
required to establish a percentage price preference, not to exceed 5%, for the purchase
of products made from recycled materials. Recycled materials include post-consumer
material, industrial scrap material, compost, and obsolete inventories.

equipment procured by the State. The procurement of environmentally preferable
products and equipment would require a significantly greater devotion of
