Requires adoption of school tick remediation policy in public and private schools.
This bill requires all public and private schools in New Jersey counties with high Lyme disease incidence to adopt a tick remediation policy by 18 months after the law takes effect. It mandates schools to implement pesticide-free, cost-effective solutions tailored to their county's specific environmental factors (like vegetation and deer populations), developed by the Environmental Protection Commissioner within 12 months. Schools must designate an integrated pest management coordinator to oversee implementation, maintain records, and educate staff about high-risk tick areas. The policy prioritizes non-chemical methods first, with low-impact pesticides permitted only if initial measures prove insufficient.
