This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to run a National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species Strike Team Program to find and respond to invasive species threats on or near refuge lands and waters. The Secretary must set up at least one strike team in each Fish and Wildlife Service region, trained to detect and respond quickly to invasive species, and must partner with other governments, nonprofits, and private landowners, and use existing invasive species databases and reporting systems. Any identification or response work on land or water next to a refuge, rather than inside it, may happen only if the owner of that land asks for it. The Secretary may also provide financial or technical assistance, contracts, or grants to outside groups working on invasive species near refuges, and may send a strike team to help at their request. The bill requires public reports to Congress on the program's work two and five years after enactment, and authorizes $10,000,000 a year for the program from 2027 through 2033. The House passed it on September 14, 2026, 371 to 33.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 1 quarterly report filed by 1 lobbying firm in 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
