H.R. 8887 · 116th Congress
AIPM Act of 2020
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Areawide Integrated Pest Management Act of 2020 or the AIPM Act of 2020
This bill expands the Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program to include grants to colleges, universities, and other entities for qualified area-wide integrated pest management projects to prevent the spread of pests and invasive species.
The bill establishes an area-wide integrated pest management committee to consider stakeholder feedback and determine priorities for the projects.
The projects must be implemented on a landscape scale or larger and include collaboration with specified federal, regional, state, and nongovernmental entities. The projects may prevent the spread of pests and invasive species through prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression; educational programs; and physical, mechanical, cultural biologically-based, or chemical controls.
A qualified project must
- provide for significant benefits for the prevention, eradication, or management of pests and invasive species;
- provide for economic and environmental benefits to agriculture, individuals, wildlife, and the environment;
- address the annual priorities established by the integrated pest management committee;
- last no more than five years;
- establish a regional advisory committee to oversee the project; and
- involve the cooperative extension services in translating the results of research into practical information and tools to be shared.
USDA must transfer to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture the authority for the Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program.
