CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT

��

An Act

appropriating $3 million annually for mosquito

����
Be It
Enacted
by the Senate and General Assembly of
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� There shall be annually
appropriated to the Department of Environmental Protection from the General
Fund the sum of $3,000,000 for the State Mosquito Control Commission to provide
funding to local governments for mosquito control, research, administration,
and operations.

���� 2.��� This act shall take

STATEMENT

���� This bill annually
appropriates $3 million to the Department of Environmental Protection to
provide funding to the State Mosquito Control Commission for aid to local
governments for mosquito control, research, administration, and operations.

���� In most cases, each county has
its own mosquito control commission or agency, which operates under the
authority of the county government. �The commission provides grants and other
financial assistance to support mosquito control activities at the county
level.� This bill would require the appropriation of $3 million per year to
support those activities.
