S 2057 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act prohibiting state and municipal contracts for the purchase and installation of artificial turf fields

This bill prohibits state departments, agencies, and municipalities, including school districts, from entering into contracts to purchase or install artificial turf fields. While the law allows already installed fields to remain in use, it explicitly bans replacing existing natural grass fields with artificial turf. The legislation aims to restrict public funding for new artificial turf projects by preventing government entities from contracting for their purchase and installation.
