This resolve puts a 3-year moratorium on the installation or reinstallation of synthetic turf in any park, outdoor playing field or athletic field, indoor athletic facility or similar venue. It directs the Department of Environmental Protection to examine whether synthetic turf is a risk to public health, the surrounding environment and the climate emissions goals of the State as compared to turf and, if it is a risk, the ways in which synthetic turf is a risk. It directs the department to submit, no later than November 4, 2026, a report that includes its findings and recommendations, including suggested legislation, for presentation to the
133rd Legislature in 2027. The department is also directed to conduct an outreach program to inform local governments, civic organizations, schools and the public regarding the findings of the report.
