Summary of Bill S 1207
Bill 119 s 1207, also known as the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program Reauthorization Act, aims to amend the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 in order to continue funding and support for the feral swine eradication and control pilot program. This program focuses on addressing the issue of feral swine, also known as wild pigs, which can cause significant damage to crops, property, and natural habitats.
The bill seeks to reauthorize the pilot program, which was initially established to test and implement various methods for controlling and eradicating feral swine populations. By continuing this program, lawmakers hope to further develop effective strategies for managing the feral swine population and minimizing the negative impacts they have on agriculture and the environment.
In addition to reauthorizing the pilot program, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to feral swine control. These may include funding for research, outreach and education efforts, and collaboration with state and local agencies to address the feral swine issue on a broader scale. Overall, Bill 119 s 1207 aims to address the ongoing problem of feral swine populations in the United States by providing support for the development and implementation of effective control measures. By reauthorizing the pilot program and providing additional resources, lawmakers hope to mitigate the damage caused by feral swine and protect agricultural interests and natural ecosystems.

Congressional Summary of S 1207
Feral Swine Eradication Act
This bill reauthorizes the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program through FY2030 and removes the pilot program designation. This Department of Agriculture (USDA) program responds to the threat feral swine pose to agriculture, native ecosystems, and human and animal health.
In addition, USDA must require the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to continue monitoring an area for reoccurrence of feral swine for one year after USDA determines that feral swine has been eradicated from an eligible area.
The bill requires 60% of the funds provided for the program to be allocated to APHIS and 40% of the funds to be allocated to the NRCS. (Under current law, the funds are divided evenly between APHIS and the NRCS).
Further, the bill includes new reporting requirements, which direct APHIS and the NRCS to submit a joint report to Congress on the program. This report must be publicly available on USDA's website.
