HF 148: Regulating commercial transactions involving commercial sod containing entwined plastic netting, and providing penalties
Died when the session ended · The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
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.
