Summary

The bill stops the General Services Department and Legislative Council Service from installing decorative grass that needs irrigation on their properties starting in 2028. From 2033, any such grass must be watered only with recycled or reclaimed water, and if removed it must be replaced with drought‑resistant landscaping. Exceptions are made for cemeteries and turf under tree canopies where mulch isn’t practical.
