What H.R. 375 does
H.R. 375, the Continued Rapid Ohia Death Response Act of 2025, is about a disease caused by a fungus that affects the Hawaiian tree species Metrosideros polymorpha. The Department of the Interior would have to work with the Department of Agriculture and Hawaii to control it. The U.S. Geological Survey and the Forest Service's Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry would continue researching how it spreads, and the Fish and Wildlife Service would continue managing ungulates, such as deer, in control areas, with private landowners' consent.
The Forest Service would also provide financial assistance to prevent the spread of the fungus and restore Hawaii's native forests, plus staff and infrastructure funding for the Institute.
