HR 9357 United States House · 119th Congress

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. This legislation also prohibits the sale and use of any remaining paraquat stocks already on the market and bars the EPA from re-registering the chemical in the future. By removing paraquat from legal use, the bill directly impacts farmers who currently rely on it and consumers concerned about pesticide exposure in their food supply.
