Creates the Prairie Lawns Act. Establishes the Prairie Lawns Program, which requires the Department of Natural Resources to provide assistance for installing pollinator-friendly native plants in residential lawns to protect and support native species of pollinators. Provides that the Department shall adopt rules for the Program. Provides for individual support grants to reimburse Illinois residents for up to $400, subject to appropriation and other requirements. Provides for demonstration neighborhood grants to units of local government and nonprofit organizations through a request for proposal process, subject to appropriation and other requirements.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that common interest communities, as defined in the Common Interest Community Association Act, (rather than homeowners’ associations and common interest communities) shall not prohibit any resident or owner from planting a pollinator habitat within the boundaries of the resident's or owner's property or lot. Prohibits residents and owners from planting a pollinator habitat in or on a common area or other property without written consent of the common interest community or other owner.
