H 909 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to establish a grant and loan program for low noise, low emissions landscape maintenance equipment

This bill creates a state grant and loan program to help small businesses and municipalities switch from gas-powered to electric landscape equipment. Eligible entities must replace gas equipment with electric models to receive funds, which cover purchasing new equipment, staff training, and transition costs. Loans carry 0% interest, and a dedicated trust fund will manage the program's funding, with annual reports to legislative committees. The program directly affects local businesses and municipal operations that maintain public or private green spaces.
