Makes FY2025 supplemental appropriation of $100,000 from General Fund to Department of Environmental Protection for avian carcass removal and disposal.
This bill provides $100,000 in additional funding from New Jersey's General Fund for fiscal year 2025 to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The funds specifically support the removal and disposal of bird carcasses, directly affecting the DEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife and local governments that may receive reimbursement or grants for these activities. It addresses the 2025 outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza by enabling contaminated carcass removal from public areas. The appropriation allows for retroactive reimbursements and grants to municipalities to cover these costs, with approval required from the Division of Budget and Accounting.
