Creates a grant program to prepare for and respond to New World screwworm outbreaks.
The problem
New World screwworms are destructive parasitic pests that harm livestock and animals. Outbreaks can cause significant economic losses to farmers and ranchers if not managed quickly.
The proposal
Establishes a federal grant program to fund preparation and response efforts for New World screwworm outbreaks in agriculture.
The impact
Livestock farmers, ranchers, agricultural agencies, and rural communities benefit from funding to prevent and control screwworm infestations that threaten animal health and farm income.
Grants help farmers prevent and treat screwworm infections in cattle and other animals. This protects animals from suffering and keeps farmers from losing income due to sick or dead livestock.
Funding allows states and agencies to prepare detection systems and response teams before outbreaks happen. Being ready means faster action if screwworms appear, which limits spread and damage.
Ranchers and farmers in rural areas depend on livestock. This program directly helps them stay in business and maintain rural economies.
Screwworm control protects food supply safety and security. Preventing animal diseases helps ensure stable meat and dairy production for consumers.
The program requires taxpayer funding for grants. The bill does not specify how much money will be spent or where it comes from in the budget.
No official summary is available, making it hard to evaluate the full scope, requirements, or how funds will be distributed. Details about grant amounts and eligibility are unclear.
Existing USDA programs already address screwworm management. This new grant program might overlap with current efforts rather than fill a gap.
It is unclear how much responsibility the federal government should take versus state agricultural departments. This could create confusion about who manages outbreaks.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
