Plain-English Summary

This bill would modify how the federal government manages plants and flowers along highways and roadsides to better support pollinators like bees and butterflies. Instead of just mowing grass for safety and appearance, the program would allow for planting native wildflowers and other vegetation that provides food and habitat for these insects, which are important for agriculture and ecosystems. The changes would affect how the Department of Transportation and state highway departments maintain roadside areas across the country.
