HR 9357: Paraquat Prevention Act

The Paraquat Prevention Act directs the Environmental Protection Agency to immediately cancel the registration of paraquat, a pesticide used in agriculture, and to revoke any existing safety limits for its residues in food.

HR 5775: FCRA Liability Harmonization Act

This bill sets clear limits on class action lawsuits against credit reporting companies for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). For intentional failures to follow FCRA rules, it caps individual damages at $100,000 or 40% of total damages, and total class recovery at $500,000 or 1% of the company’s net worth.

HR 4398: Veteran Burial Timeliness and Death Certificate Accountability Act

HR 4398, the Veteran Burial Timeliness and Death Certificate Accountability Act, requires Veterans Affairs (VA) physicians or nurse practitioners to certify the death of a veteran who dies of natural causes within 48 hours of learning of the death.
