            addition to a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or 
            ENERGY STAR.

          2)Require the Department of General Services (DGS), instead of 
            the Task Force, to seek grant funding and other opportunities, 
            as specified. 

          3)Sunset the provisions of this bill on January 1, 2014.

           EXISTING LAW :
