Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (ACF) to monitor and take certain steps to prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. When there is a mosquito-borne disease public health threat, ACF must implement an effective management response. This bill creates the Maine Mosquito Management Fund within ACF to carry out these activities and requires an allocation of $500 in fiscal year 2014-15 to establish the fund. Additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services are assumed to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
