Plain-English Summary

The bill would create a pilot program to help people identify ticks and understand which ones carry diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The program would likely involve educational materials, testing resources, or tools to help the public recognize dangerous tick species in their area. This would help workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and families reduce their risk of tick-borne illnesses.
