The bill prohibits the installation of nonfunctional turf on state-owned or state-funded properties starting January 1, 2027. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2032, it mandates that only recycled or reclaimed water can be used for irrigating nonfunctional turf on these properties. Furthermore, any nonfunctional turf that is removed must be replaced with drought- and climate-resilient landscaping, which includes efficient irrigation systems and native, drought-tolerant plants.

The bill defines key terms such as "drought- and climate-resilient landscaping," "nonfunctional turf," and "state-funded property." Nonfunctional turf is characterized as irrigated grass that serves no recreational purpose and is primarily decorative, found in areas like medians and parking lots. The definition of state-funded property includes any capital improvement project where the state contributed at least 40% of the funding.
