What’s in it

AI summary Sellers and installers of commercial sod must tell customers if the grass is wrapped in plastic netting. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship will create the rules for these notices. People who fail to give this information can be charged with a misdemeanor and fined up to $500.1

Read the official explanation

This bill regulates certain commercial sod (sod) planted on a layer of soil and cut into pallets or rolls for transport and permanent installation on land. The bill’s provisions are administered by the department of agriculture and land stewardship (DALS). It addresses two situations: first, the purchase of sod for later installation; and second, the purchase of the sod’s installation. In each of the two situations, notice has to be provided to a purchaser if the sod is entwined with plastic netting. In the first situation, notice must be given to the purchaser of the sod by a person selling the sod; and in the second situation, notice must be given to the purchaser of the sod’s installation by the person installing the sod. DALS is responsible for adopting rules providing for notice requirements. A person who violates a notice requirement is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500.
