HR 776 United States House · 119th Congress

Nutria Eradication and Control Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill extends the Nutria Eradication and Control program's authorization period through 2030 (previously set to expire in 2025) and corrects a minor technical error in the original 2003 law's reference to the Secretary. It does not create new policy or change program requirements, only maintaining the existing framework for managing invasive nutria rodents. The program directly affects wetland ecosystems and landowners in states where nutria are established, primarily Maryland and Delaware. This is a procedural reauthorization with no substantive policy changes.
