New Jersey A3026 mandates the adoption of a school tick remediation policy in public and private schools.

New Jersey A3026 requires the Commissioner of Environmental Protection to develop a school tick remediation policy to be integrated into the existing integrated pest management policy of public and private schools. This policy aims to reduce the presence of ticks on school property in counties with a high incidence of Lyme disease. The policy must include simple, cost-effective, and pesticide-free recommendations and solutions, considering common environmental variables such as deer population and vegetation type.
