Key Points

This bill tells the government to favor wood products like mass timber when they build or lease new federal offices and military housing.
To get this special treatment, the wood must be grown and made in the United States to help support local jobs and businesses.
The plan gives extra points to wood harvested from projects that help prevent forest fires or come from small family and Tribal forests.
Government experts would have to study and report on how using wood affects the environment compared to using steel or concrete.
