Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
This bill amends section 2408 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to convert the existing feral swine eradication pilot into a formal program, redefine eligible areas, add a one-year post‑eradication monitoring requirement, change funding and cost‑sharing provisions, and require two public reports evaluating program activities and outcomes.
It authorizes funding through fiscal years 2025–2030 and directs APHIS and NRCS roles, reporting metrics, and recommendations to Congressional agriculture committees.
The bill also updates the Act’s table of contents to reflect the amended program title.
Modest, program-specific reauthorization with limited spending and technical language historically attracts bipartisan support.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-targeted substantive amendment that reauthorizes and expands a federal feral swine eradication and control program, provides explicit funding authorizations, names implementing agencies, and establishes concrete reporting and monitoring requirements.
Libs want stronger environmental and humane safeguards; conservatives emphasize limited federal expansion.

Likely supportive of elevating a pilot to a formal federal program addressing ecological, agricultural, and public‑health harms from feral swine.
Would welcome reporting requirements but seek stronger environmental safeguards, humane treatment rules, and assurance funding is sufficient and equitably distributed.
Sees this as a practical, evidence‑based extension of a pilot into a formal program with useful reporting and monitoring.
Wants clearer fiscal details, measurable performance metrics, and assurance of cost‑effectiveness before full endorsement.
Likely cautiously supportive because it protects agriculture, property, and livestock from feral swine damage, but concerned about expanding federal programs and recurring federal expenditures.
Prefers state flexibility, limited federal oversight, and clear cost limits.
