The California Building Standard Commission has established a mandatory set of Green Building Codes. By 2010 all new Construction in California must abide by these rules. The standards take effect in 180 days, but adherence will be optional until the 2010 deadline. A PDF version of the press release can be found at the State's Consumer Services Agency website. Lawmakers said they set the deadline to 2010 to give companies time to adopt to the new requirements. The new standards target energy efficiency, diversion of waste from landfills, and the use of environmentally friendly materials, among other things.
