Continued Rapid Ohia Death Response Act of 2025

This bill sets up a plan to fight a fungus called Rapid Ohia Death, which has killed over a million native trees in Hawaii. It requires several federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, and others, to work with Hawaii to research the fungus, control its spread, and restore damaged forests. The bill also calls for managing certain animals like deer in areas affected by the fungus, since they may play a role in spreading it, and it directs continued funding and staff support for research efforts.
