What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, if the Department of Natural Resources produces a brochure for

a specific state park that includes information about the state park that is not solely

a map of the park, DNR must also include in the brochure information on Lyme

disease, how to prevent tick bites, and that visitors are encouraged to check for ticks

after visiting the park. Also under the bill, annually in the month of May, in

connection with Lyme Disease Awareness Month, DNR must conduct a Lyme disease

awareness campaign with the goal of raising awareness of Lyme disease, informing

on how to prevent tick bites, and encouraging people to check for ticks after spending

time outdoors. The bill requires that the campaign use some combination of digital

platforms, including DNR's Internet site, social media, and digital newsletters, and

print platforms, including the Wisconsin natural resources magazine.
