Establishes a New World screwworm fly rearing facility to combat infestations in at-risk areas.
The STOP Screwworms Act mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to construct one or more modular New World screwworm fly rearing facilities in areas at risk of infestation. These facilities will rear sterile New World screwworm flies for dispersal to additional at-risk areas. The Secretary must report annually on the threat posed by these flies and the effectiveness of the rearing and dispersal efforts. Funding for these activities is authorized up to $300,000,000.
