HB 2445: lawn equipment emissions reduction program
Sponsor: Representative Dunn, LD 13
Committee on Natural Resources, Energy & Water
Overview
Allows a county that operates a voluntary law and garden equipment emissions reduction program to increase voucher amount for commercial lawn mowers and recipients to use residential lawn mower vouchers for manually operated reel lawn mowers.
History
Statute requires Maricopa and Pima county to create a voluntary lawn and garden equipment emissions reduction program (Program). A person can participate in this Program if their lawn or garden equipment functions and is used for residential or commercial purposes. Participants can receive:
1) A $200 voucher for retiring a commercial lawn mower which they must use to buy a lower emission lawn mower;
2) A $100 voucher for retiring a residential lawn mower which they must use to buy an electric lawn mower; or
3) A $50 voucher for retiring a gasoline-powered lawn or garden device which they must use to buy a similar device that generates lower emissions.
Retired equipment cannot be used in Arizona (A.R.S. § 49-474.02).
