Before a school district or charter school installs new artificial turf on an athletic field of at least 5,000 square feet, this bill would require the governing board to mail or hand-deliver written notice to property owners and residents within 200 feet of the planned installation at least 30 days before a public board meeting, and to post notice on the LEA's website at least 60 days before that meeting, updating the posting if the proposal changes. The written notice would need to describe the location, size, type of turf and infill material (such as crumb rubber), and intended use of the field, and the governing board would have to place the installation on a regular meeting agenda and allow public comment before approving the project. These requirements would not apply to maintenance, repair, or resurfacing of existing turf, or to replacing turf with natural grass or another non-turf surface, and the bill would not create a right for property owners to sue over noncompliance.
