The bill HR 7533, introduced by Representatives Carson, McGaw, Fogarty, Boylan, and Cortvriend on February 6, 2023, and referred to the House Environment and Natural Resources, calls for a comprehensive recycling and waste audit of the Rhode Island State House. The purpose of this audit is to analyze the facility's waste stream, identifying the materials that are being discarded, recycled, or composted, and to quantify these by weight or volume. The findings from the audit are expected to highlight wasteful practices and provide insights into potential cost savings and environmental benefits. The House of Representatives aims to receive a report with recommendations for a waste reduction strategy by January 5, 2027.

Additionally, the bill requests that the Executive Director of the Joint Committee on Legislative Services and the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) explore the installation of water filling stations and electric car chargers in the State House parking lots. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on plastic water bottles and align with the carbon emission goals outlined in the Act on Climate. A report on these investigations is also expected by January 5, 2027. The bill will be transmitted to relevant state officials for further action.
