What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally prohibits a person from applying fertilizer containing

phosphorus to grass, except under specified circumstances. The law also prohibits

a retailer from displaying grass fertilizer that contains phosphorus. A retailer may

post a sign stating that grass fertilizer containing phosphorus is available upon

request for use in the circumstances allowed under the law.

This bill eliminates the prohibition on the retail display of grass fertilizer that

contains phosphorus. The bill requires a retailer that sells grass fertilizer that

contains phosphorus to post a sign describing the general prohibition against

applying fertilizer that contains phosphorus to grass and the exceptions to the

prohibition.
