✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill would prevent homeowners associations and local governments from banning environmentally-friendly landscaping practices like native plant gardens, rain gardens, or natural groundcover. Homeowners would have the legal right to choose sustainable landscaping options that reduce water usage and support local wildlife, even if their neighborhood has strict appearance rules.
