Stop the SWARM Act of 2025
This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to submit a report to Congress within 30 days of enactment, focusing on preparations for potential outbreaks of New World screwworms - a pest harmful to livestock. The report must detail domestic readiness efforts, including plans for a U.S. production facility for sterile flies (used to control the pest), partnerships with states and industry, and comparisons of domestic versus international sterile fly production costs and timelines. It specifically examines barriers and benefits of building domestic production capacity to prevent livestock losses. The bill directly affects USDA operations and livestock industries reliant on pest control measures.
