H.R. 10144
Pesticide Harm Accountability Act
Summary:
• The "Pesticide Harm Accountability Act" amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to clarify that federal law does not preempt State tort law claims related to pesticide labeling or packaging
• The bill was introduced in response to the Supreme Court's June 25, 2026 ruling in *Monsanto Co. v. Durnell*, which held that FIFRA prevented states from holding pesticide companies accountable when the EPA approved a label without requiring a cancer warning
• The EPA Administrator must submit a report to Congress within 180 days identifying any regulations, guidance documents, or interpretive statements that limit State tort law claims related to pesticide labeling
