Paraquat Prevention Act

Introduced 2026-06-18Topic: agriculture food · environment · public healthSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to cancel the registration of all uses of the weed-killing pesticide paraquat once the law takes effect. It would treat paraquat as causing unreasonable adverse effects on the environment under federal pesticide law. After the cancellation, the EPA would have to revoke any rules that allow paraquat or its residues to be present in or on food. The bill would also ban the sale and use of existing paraquat supplies and would bar the EPA from registering paraquat again.
