Plain-English Summary

The federal government would create a grant program to help states and organizations prepare for and respond to New World screwworm infestations, which are parasitic pests that can devastate livestock and wildlife populations. Farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, and agricultural agencies would be eligible to receive funding for prevention efforts, emergency response, and research to control these harmful insects. The program aims to protect the nation's livestock industry and prevent economic losses from screwworm outbreaks.
