What H.R. 4219 does
H.R. 4219 would give formal legal backing to the Invasive Species Strike Team program run by the National Wildlife Refuge System within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The program operates teams in each Fish and Wildlife Service region that work with public and private partners on invasive species and related conservation issues in and around the refuge system.
The Fish and Wildlife Service would have to report to Congress on the program's work and its progress against invasive species that pose a major concern to the environment, human health or the economy.
