The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (21 Jul 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
What this bill does
H.R. 9807, the "Americans vs. Poisonous Pesticides Act," would amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to change how federal pesticide regulation interacts with state lawsuits. It would specify that federal law does not preempt state-law claims consistent with FIFRA's misbranding standards, meaning EPA registration and label approval of a pesticide could not automatically serve as a legal defense against such claims, though it would count as evidence (not conclusive proof) of compliance. The bill would also let manufacturers update pesticide labels on their own, without prior EPA approval, if they receive new information—such as government or peer-reviewed studies, litigation discovery, whistleblower disclosures, or incident data—suggesting undisclosed health or environmental risks, subject to possible EPA disapproval.
The bill primarily affects pesticide manufacturers, the EPA, state courts, and individuals or entities pursuing lawsuits over pesticide harm. It would apply to pending and future civil cases regardless of when the underlying conduct occurred, and it would not alter existing state damages or injunctive-relief laws.
The bill was introduced on July 21, 2026, by Rep. Anna Luna with bipartisan co-sponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. It has not yet received a committee vote, floor vote, or further congressional action.
