AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TAX CREDIT FOR BUSINESSES THAT INSTALL A MEADOW IN LIEU OF A LAWN.

HB 5195 creates a tax credit for businesses that replace traditional lawns with native meadow landscapes on their properties. This policy directly affects commercial property owners who choose this alternative landscaping option. The bill establishes a financial incentive by allowing qualifying businesses to reduce their state tax liability based on the installation cost of the meadow. The provision aims to promote eco-friendly land management without specifying credit amounts or eligibility thresholds.
