Pesticide Harm Accountability Act

This bill changes the federal pesticide law (the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) so that it does not block certain lawsuits under state law. It states that the federal rules on pesticide misbranding do not prohibit placing a warning on a pesticide that a state's tort law requires. It also states that the federal labeling uniformity rule does not prohibit or limit state tort law claims about pesticide labeling or packaging. Within 180 days, the Environmental Protection Agency would have to report to Congress on any of its rules or guidance that limit such state claims, along with steps taken to bring them into compliance.
