A 5933 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires all counties to establish mosquito control commissions and report certain mosquito control activities to State Mosquito Control Commission; requires State Mosquito Control Commission to develop guidelines to aid county commissions.

This bill requires all New Jersey counties to establish a mosquito control commission within one year if they lack one, affecting 17 counties (as four - Camden, Middlesex, Ocean, and Warren - already have commissions). Each county must submit annual reports by November 1st detailing mosquito control methods, costs, surveillance data, and specific activities like chemical or biological treatments. The State Mosquito Control Commission must develop and annually update statewide guidelines for counties based on these reports, including best practices and criteria for control actions. The bill also updates terminology (replacing "extermination" with "control") and removes restrictions on state funding for mosquito control activities across all counties.
