What it does
The STOP Screwworms Act would require the Secretary of Agriculture to begin construction within 180 days of enactment on one or more modular facilities to rear and disperse sterile New World screwworm flies in areas at risk of infestation, based on migratory patterns and suitability for dispersal. The bill mandates annual public reports on the threat posed by screwworms and the effectiveness of control efforts, and authorizes $300 million in appropriations to fund these activities. It affects agricultural areas vulnerable to screwworm infestations and directs the USDA to implement and monitor a sterile insect technique program to prevent outbreaks.
