Summary
The measure creates a fund and loan program to help municipalities, schools and commercial landscapers buy electric mowers, leaf blowers and trimmers, while directing state agencies to replace gas tools with electric ones. It also adds a ban on the sale of gas‑powered handheld leaf blowers in 2029 and a use ban on state‑owned property by 2030. The bill ties the new requirements to the existing utility systems‑benefits charge.
