Promoting Reduction of Emissions through Landscaping Equipment Act

Key Points

• This bill would give businesses a tax break for switching from gas-powered lawn tools to electric ones. Companies could get back 40% of what they spend on new electric mowers, leaf blowers, and other garden equipment.
• The tax credit is capped at $25,000 per year for each business. Over a 10-year period, a single company can claim up to $100,000 in total credits to help them afford the higher upfront cost of electric technology.
• The credit covers more than just the machines. It also applies to the expensive batteries needed to run them, special charging stations, and kits used to turn old gas equipment into zero-emission tools.
• This plan aims to reduce air and noise pollution in neighborhoods by making it cheaper for professional landscapers to stop using gas engines. If passed, the credit would apply to equipment bought starting in 2025 and would be available for five years.
