The bill includes
a one-time General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and Human
Services of $500,000 in fiscal year 2019-20 to the Maine Harmful Pest
Management Fund within the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention,
Division of Public Health and Emergency Preparedness to be used by
municipalities in mitigating infestations of harmful pests, such as browntail
moth caterpillars and ticks. Any additional costs to the Department of
Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry as a result of consultations by the
State Entomologist regarding harmful pests are anticipated to be minor and
can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
