Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a New World screwworm fly rearing facility, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to establish one or more modular New World screwworm fly rearing facilities within 180 days of enactment. The facilities will be located in areas determined to be at risk of New World screwworm fly infestation, based on the migratory patterns of these flies and the suitability of the location for dispersing sterile flies. The New World screwworm is an invasive pest that can cause significant damage to livestock by laying eggs in wounds, leading to potentially fatal infestations. The bill mandates that the Secretary submit an annual report to congressional agriculture committees detailing the current threat posed by these flies, the efforts to combat their migration, and the effectiveness of those efforts. The facilities will not only rear sterile screwworm flies but also disperse them to help control the population and prevent further spread. The bill authorizes $300 million in appropriations to support the construction and operation of these facilities, with funds remaining available until expended. The legislation is officially known as the "Strengthening Tactics to Obstruct the Population of Screwworms Act" or the "STOP Screwworms Act".
