This bill, titled the "Spotted Lanternfly Research and Development Act," aims to enhance efforts to combat 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. Under this designation, the bill authorizes the provision of grants for the purpose of developing and disseminating research-based tools and treatments to effectively manage and eradicate the Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula). Furthermore, it extends the authorization for these high-priority research and extension initiatives by changing the expiration date from 2023 to 2028 , ensuring continued funding and support for these critical agricultural research programs.
