What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture to send Congress a report on how ready the U.S. is to deal with a pest called the New World Screwworm, which is a type of parasitic fly. These flies lay eggs in open wounds and body openings of warm-blooded animals, including livestock, pets, wildlife, and people, and the eggs hatch into maggots that feed on living tissue. The report would cover the government's plans for being prepared for and responding to this pest.
