Federal support to fight Rapid Ohia Death
If enacted, the government would authorize $5,000,000 for each fiscal year 2026 through 2036 to carry out this Act. The funds could pay for research, forest restoration, and control work in Hawaii. Money may be used by the Interior Department, the Agriculture Department, or both. The bill would direct the US Geological Survey to continue research on how the fungus spreads. It would direct the Fish and Wildlife Service to work with Hawaii and local partners to manage wild ungulates on federal, state, and private land. The Forest Service would continue to provide financial assistance and fund staff and infrastructure at the Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry. The bill would define "Rapid Ohia Death" as the fungus that has killed more than 1,000,000 native trees and define "State" to mean Hawaii.
