SMASH 2.0 Act

This bill renews a federal grant program for mosquito control and allows $100,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It lets the Secretary of Health and Human Services consider new mosquito control technology when awarding grants. It allows funds to be used for training and technical assistance, and lets grant recipients spend up to 5 percent of their award on continuing education for workers, including public health entomologists. It also allows the Strategic National Stockpile to hold an emergency supply of products for controlling diseases spread by mosquitoes and similar carriers, and requires a national plan for that stockpiling.
