<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">In its wide-ranging provisions, the federal 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) contained several tax credits for supporting clean energy and electric vehicles (EVs). While many of these
are not available to directly benefit clean energy and fleets in state government operations, one stands out that does – and it’s called “<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/cleanenergy/directpay/"><span style="color:#455CB4">Direct Pay</span></a>.” Through
federal tax code changes, public entities - including state governments - can receive the equivalent value of a tax credit by a direct payment from the federal government to offset the cost of items like solar panels, EVs, and EV charging stations. With the
meeting of certain criteria, agencies may apply for reimbursement of up to 30-40% of a project’s total cost. Direct pay covers projects placed in service from January 1, 2023 forward and will be available to agencies for several years. That means agencies
can not only get credit for 2023 projects, but also plan for future projects to maximize return from this federal program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

launched a multi-phase project to develop guidance for agencies on delivering a sustainable designed projects – from project initiation to post-occupancy operations and monitoring. Phase 1 will focus on using the DAS building portfolio and planning and construction
management processes as a test bed for guidance and design standards. In future phases, DAS and its team will engage agencies and other stakeholders on how to expand most effectively and practically these to the enterprise-wide building portfolio. New guidance
and standards are anticipated by the end of 2024 or early 2025. For more information, please contact David Wortman, DAS Office of Sustainability, (971) 304-8733.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in state procurement of goods and realize the economic, environment and public health benefits of green chemistry. Some of the product categories it covers are janitorial, pest management, laboratory chemicals and furniture, among others. Agencies can review
the <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/das/Policies/107-009-0080_Attachment.pdf"><span style="color:#455CB4">2014 FAQ document</span></a> prepared for the original Policy in 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Since the original policy was drafted, there have been changes to both toxic chemicals of concern and the product certifications and standards that cover them. The intent of the update
is to bring this policy into alignment with current best practices and knowledge. In 2024, DAS will be working on reviewing the product lists, criteria, and certification standards in the policy with DEQ, other stakeholders, and agencies. If your agency has
any comments on the current policy, please forward them to Dave Wortman, david.wortman@das.oregon.gov.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
