Senators Push Bill to Fight Spotted Lanternfly | Washington DC News

Pennsylvania’s Senators Fetterman and McCormick are teaming up on a bold new bill to fight the spotted lanternfly — an invasive pest threatening crops and costing the state up to $324 million annually. The Spotted Lanternfly Research and Development Act would prioritize federal funding for science-driven solutions, helping farmers combat this growing crisis without launching a full-scale eradication program. With bipartisan support and a 2028 deadline, this legislation aims to protect agriculture’s future before it’s too late.
