Pesticide Harm Accountability Act aims to protect state tort law claims from federal preemption.

The Pesticide Harm Accountability Act seeks to amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to ensure that state tort law claims are not preempted by federal regulations. This bill responds to concerns that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not adequately protected public health by allowing the use of pesticides with outdated safety data. The act specifically addresses the Supreme Court's decision in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, which limited state tort claims regarding pesticide labeling.
