Pesticide Harm Accountability Act
The Pesticide Harm Accountability Act amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to clarify that state tort laws are not preempted by federal regulations regarding pesticide labeling and packaging. This change allows individuals who claim to have been harmed by pesticides to pursue legal action against manufacturers in state courts, even if the Environmental Protection Agency has approved the product's label without specific warnings. The bill also requires the EPA Administrator to submit a report to Congress within 180 days identifying any existing regulations or guidance documents that restrict these state-level claims and outlining steps taken to ensure compliance with the new law.
