HR 5614 United States House · 119th Congress

If You See It, Squish It Act of 2025

HR 5614, the "If You See It, Squish It Act of 2025," directs the Secretary of Agriculture to launch a national public awareness campaign about spotted lanternflies. The campaign requires placing TV, radio, and billboard ads in high-incidence areas to inform the public that spotted lanternflies are invasive pests threatening agriculture and to encourage people to kill any they encounter. It specifically mandates these public service announcements and allows the Secretary to use additional awareness tools. This bill directly affects residents in regions with spotted lanternfly infestations by providing information on identifying and addressing the pest.
