Our Lawn Act

Bill 117 hr 6116, also known as the Our Lawn Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address the issue of lawn care and maintenance in residential neighborhoods.

The Our Lawn Act aims to establish guidelines and regulations for homeowners regarding the upkeep of their lawns. It requires homeowners to maintain their lawns in a neat and orderly fashion, including regular mowing, weeding, and watering. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or other penalties.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the use of environmentally friendly lawn care products and practices.

They believe that establishing standards for lawn care will help to create a more attractive and cohesive community. Opponents of the bill, however, raise concerns about government overreach and the potential financial burden on homeowners. They argue that mandating specific lawn care practices could be costly and impractical for some individuals. Overall, the Our Lawn Act is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to regulate lawn care practices in residential areas. It remains to be seen whether or not this bill will be passed by Congress and signed into law.
