A bill for an act regulating commercial transactions involving commercial sod containing entwined plastic netting, and providing penalties.

HF 148 requires sellers and installers of commercial sod containing plastic netting to provide clear notice to buyers about the netting. It affects businesses selling or installing sod (defined as grass cut into pallets/rolls for permanent installation) that uses plastic netting for stability. The bill mandates that sellers notify purchasers at the time of sale, and installers must notify property owners before installation. Violations carry a $500 fine for a simple misdemeanor. The Department of Agriculture will set specific notice requirements, such as labels or written statements.
