Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says she has heard that senators may restore pesticide liability protections removed from the Farm Bill. Her amendment to remove the protections passed the House 280-142 last week.
Luna said on X that she had heard of an active Senate effort to reinsert the pesticide liability protections into the Farm Bill. She introduced an amendment to remove them before the bill went to the Senate, and the amendment passed 280-142 in a bipartisan vote.
The article says supporters of removing the provisions argued they gave Bayer a “liability shield” against allegations that glyphosate can cause cancer. Luna said the House could reject the protections if they return. It also reports that the Supreme Court heard arguments in a glyphosate case.
