No Immunity for Glyphosate Act
HR 7601, the "No Immunity for Glyphosate Act," removes legal protections for manufacturers of glyphosate-based herbicides and elemental phosphorus products. It allows individuals harmed by exposure to these chemicals - through physical injury, illness, disease, or death - to file civil lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors, or sellers in federal court, without requiring proof of fault. The bill explicitly blocks manufacturers from using the "Federal contractor defense" (claiming compliance with government orders) as a shield from liability and preserves all existing lawsuits filed under federal or state law. It does not change the use of these chemicals but ensures victims can seek compensation through courts for damages, including medical costs, lost wages, and punitive damages.
