Bill was introduced in Sep/25, but I only got a whiff of it in the last couple of weeks

Are there any other states/countries taking similar initiatives?
Summary:
Pennsylvania homeowners deserve the right to choose native plant species they desire for landscaping around their homes. However, work is needed to remove bottlenecks for homeowners to select native vegetation for their desired landscaping.
This legislation will prevent homeowners associations (HOAs) from unreasonably prohibiting the use of native plants for landscaping on private property. This ensures homeowners residing within an HOA the same ability to choose native landscaping as other homeowners.
Native plants provide many beneficial functions that many homeowners desire. These include being aesthetically pleasing and providing habitat for pollinators while being adapted to the site and typically requiring lower maintenance than non-native plants. […]
If it’s your yard you should be allowed to have an overgrown jungle if you so wish.
I agree, if only you are controlling invasives, and promoting native plants. Emphesis on controlling invasives.
Most grasses that people intentionally plant and cultivate are invasive.
Just like what ICE are doing you mean?

Anyone who has had a big tree stretching across the property line can tell you this.
What you say is true, but I have absolutely no idea which direction you are trying to go with that comment.
