EFFECT: Removes the option for agencies to purchase paper produced in a process that yields at least 40 percent less carbon dioxide than standard copy paper. Adds an option for agencies to purchase paper that has at least 30 percent recycled content and is also certified as responsibly-sourced by an organization approved by the Department of Enterprise Services. Requires printed projects that require the use of high-volume production inserters or high-speed digital devices that cannot use 100 percent recycled paper to use such responsibly-sourced paper. Modifies the option to buy 100 percent recycled paper by specifying that it must be 100 percent postconsumer recycled content.
