Plain-English Summary

This bill would likely offer tax credits or deductions to encourage people and businesses to switch from gas-powered lawn mowers and landscaping equipment to electric or zero-emission alternatives. The tax incentives would make it cheaper for homeowners, landscaping companies, and municipalities to buy cleaner equipment, helping reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from yard maintenance. The measure is currently under review by the House committee that handles tax policy.
