Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Before a school district or charter school can install artificial turf on any athletic field, this bill requires the governing board to notify property owners and residents within 200 feet of the planned installation at least 30 days before a public meeting, post notice on the LEA's website at least 60 days before that meeting, and place the installation on a regular board meeting agenda where the public can comment — and the board cannot approve the project until all of these steps are complete. The written notice must describe the location, size, type of turf and infill material (such as crumb rubber), and intended use of the field.
