S 1538 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes counties to reduce greenhead fly populations; appropriates $50,000.

This bill allows New Jersey counties with significant greenhead fly problems to use Rutgers-developed fly box traps to reduce populations. County commissioners can authorize their mosquito extermination commissions to implement these trap programs in affected areas. The bill appropriates $50,000 from the state General Fund as grants to cover the costs of these county-level fly control efforts. It directly affects coastal and affected counties where greenhead flies have become a pest nuisance, providing a specific, funded mechanism for local pest management.
