What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources, in consultation with

the Department of Health Services, to design signs to raise awareness of Lyme

disease, inform about how to prevent tick bites, and encourage people to check for

ticks after visits to state parks, state trails, state recreational areas, and state

forests. The bill requires DNR to post at least one sign in each state park, state trail,

state recreational area, and state forest in a common area where it is most likely to

be seen by visitors, such as a park entrance, trailhead, or campground. The bill

appropriates $12,500 in fiscal year 2019-20 for this purpose.
