Lawns to legumes program funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $2 million each for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund the Lawns to Legumes program in Minnesota. The money will come from the state's general fund and be given to the Board of Water and Soil Resources to support the initiative. The program encourages landowners to replace grass lawns with legumes, which are plants that naturally enrich the soil and reduce the need for fertilizers. By providing this funding, the state aims to help implement the program's goals without changing the underlying rules or regulations.
