H.R. 5085: Protect America's Children from Toxic Pesticides Act

The bill implements a reporting requirement and other protections related to farmworkers who are exposed to certain pesticide elements (e.g., active ingredients) that result in illness, injury, disability, or death.

Among other elements, the bill also

• creates a process by which an interested person may submit a rulemaking petition to designate an active ingredient or pesticide product as a dangerous pesticide;
• requires entities that have been granted conditional pesticide registrations to satisfy the conditions of the registration within two years;
• limits the ability of the EPA to grant emergency exemptions for certain active ingredients or pesticide products;
• cancels the registration of organophosphates, neonicotinoids, and paraquat;
• requires the disclosure of inert ingredients in the ingredient statement for pesticide products; and
• authorizes individuals to bring a civil action against the EPA for alleged failures to comply with provisions under FIFRA.
