Bill overview
The Monarch and Pollinator Highway Act of 2019 (MPH Act) aims to protect and support pollinators by encouraging the planting of native grasses, wildflowers, and milkweed along roadsides and highway rights-of-way. The bill directs the Department of Transportation to establish a grant program that provides funding to states, tribes, and federal agencies to implement pollinator-friendly practices on these areas. These practices include modified mowing strategies, integrated vegetation management, and the removal of non-native grasses, with a focus on creating and maintaining habitat for pollinators like monarchs.
