SMASH 2.0 Act

The SMASH 2.0 Act reauthorizes the Mosquito Abatement for Safety and Health program through fiscal year 2028, providing $100 million annually for mosquito control efforts. It allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to consider innovative technologies for mosquito prevention when awarding grants and permits recipients to use up to 5% of funds for staff training. The bill also requires coordination with the Strategic National Stockpile to develop emergency stockpiling plans for vector-borne disease control products and mandates incorporating this strategy into the national vector-borne disease plan. This directly affects state/local public health agencies receiving program grants for mosquito control and prevention activities.
