AI Summary
This bill appropriates a total of $4 million ($2 million in fiscal year 2026 and $2 million in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Board of Water and Soil Resources to support the Lawns to Legumes program. The Lawns to Legumes program, established under Minnesota Statutes section 103B.104, is likely an initiative designed to encourage homeowners to replace traditional grass lawns with legume plants, which can provide environmental benefits such as supporting pollinators, reducing water usage, and improving soil health. By providing dedicated funding for this program, the bill aims to support the implementation and expansion of these ecological landscaping practices at the state level.
