AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the use of federal money to carry out, run, or enforce Executive Order 14387, which concerns the supply of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides. It would let people harmed by exposure to these products, or their survivors, sue makers, distributors, and sellers in federal court. Courts could award damages for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and wrongful death, plus punitive damages and attorney's fees. Companies could not claim immunity under the Defense Production Act or defend themselves by saying they followed a federal order or contract. The rules would apply to past, current, and future claims and would not limit rights under state law.
