Authorizes counties to reduce greenhead fly populations; appropriates $50,000.
This bill allows New Jersey counties with greenhead fly nuisance problems to authorize their mosquito commissions to use Rutgers-developed fly box traps for population control. It directly affects coastal counties (especially those relying on tourism) where greenhead flies - abundant June-September - disrupt residents and recreational activities. The bill appropriates $50,000 from the General Fund to provide grants to counties for funding these trap programs. Key provisions require traps to be manufactured, placed, and maintained in affected areas as the primary method of fly reduction.
