Bill overview
The Invasive Species Prevention and Forest Restoration Act aims to combat the threat of invasive plant pests and noxious weeds to U.S. forests. It directs the USDA to provide grants for research into restoring affected tree species and implements emergency funding authority for responding to plant pest outbreaks. The bill also strengthens the USDA’s ability to transfer funds for immediate action and mandates a study to improve coordination among federal agencies and develop a national strategy for forest pest control and restoration.
