This bill authorizes county boards of chosen freeholders to empower their county mosquito extermination commissions to implement programs aimed at reducing the population of greenhead flies in areas where they have become a significant nuisance. The programs will involve the manufacture, placement, and maintenance of greenhead fly box traps developed by Rutgers, the State University. Additionally, the bill appropriates $50,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Environmental Protection, which will be distributed as grants to affected counties to support these extermination efforts.

The bill addresses the issue of greenhead flies, which thrive in New Jersey's coastal marshes and can become a major pest from June to September, particularly impacting residents and tourism in shore municipalities. By providing counties with the authority and funding to tackle this problem, the bill aims to mitigate the negative effects of high greenhead fly populations on local communities and their economies.
