Seminar Description:
In 2023, California enacted Assembly Bill 1572, which will prohibit the irrigation of nonfunctional turf with potable water starting in 2027. This session is designed to address the many questions that have arisen since the law’s passage.
Who is required to comply?
What qualifies as nonfunctional turf, and how can it be identified on your property?
What steps are necessary to meet the requirements — and what options are available to achieve compliance?
Get clear, authoritative answers to these questions directly from one of the agencies that sponsored and helped develop the legislation.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understanding the history and the intent behind AB 1572
2. Understand the difference between functional and nonfunctional turf as defined in the bill
3. Learn how and when to comply with the law on different types of commercial properties
