	Exempting local school administrative units, the University of Maine System, Maine Maritime Academy and the Maine Community College System from the requirement of using insulation with a global-warming potential of 10 or less in state-funded new construction or substantial renovation projects that begin on or after October 1, 2017 if it is demonstrated that use of such materials will increase the cost of a project will eliminate the state mandate to school administrative units and remove any potential cost increases to public higher educational institutions in the State.
