Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to agriculture; appropriating money for the Slow the Spread program to manage spongy moth populations.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $954,000 from the environment and natural resources trust fund to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 specifically for the Slow the Spread (STS) program. The funding is designated to support efforts to monitor, control, and treat spongy moth populations, which are invasive insects that can cause significant damage to forests and trees. The spongy moth (formerly known as the gypsy moth) is a destructive pest that can defoliate large areas of woodland, posing a serious threat to forest ecosystems. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to help manage and mitigate the spread of these moths, protecting Minnesota's natural resources and forestry.
