Environment (Forestry)

SF 15 allocates state funding to support the Slow the Spread program, which manages invasive spongy moth populations. The bill directly affects state agencies responsible for pest control and forest health, such as the Department of Agriculture or Natural Resources. Its key provision is a specific appropriation of funds to implement the Slow the Spread program's activities, including monitoring, treatment, and public outreach efforts. This funding would enable targeted actions to slow the spread of spongy moths, which damage trees and forests.
