When state agencies replace worn-out, gas-powered lawn and landscaping equipment — things like mowers, edgers, trimmers, and leaf blowers — this bill requires them to purchase electric-powered replacements instead, but only for properties smaller than 50,000 square feet located in Utah's most populous counties (first and second class). The director of the Division of Facilities Construction and Management can grant exemptions if electric equipment is impractical for the terrain, needed in an emergency, or determined to be cost-prohibitive. State agencies managing smaller urban and suburban properties, such as office buildings and university campuses, would gradually transition to electric landscaping equipment as their gas-powered tools reach the end of their useful life.
