This bill, titled the "Spotted Lanternfly Research and Development Act," aims to enhance efforts against the invasive spotted lanternfly. It amends the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to specifically include spotted lanternfly control research and development as a high-priority research and extension initiative. This designation allows for the allocation of grants to develop and disseminate effective, research-based tools and treatments to combat the pest. Furthermore, the legislation extends the authorization for these high-priority research and extension initiatives. By striking "2023" and inserting "2030" in relevant sections, the bill ensures continued funding and support for these critical agricultural research programs, including the newly added focus on the spotted lanternfly, for an additional seven years.
