House Passes Farm Bill After Stripping Pesticide Immunity and State Labeling Ban

The House of Representatives passed the Farm Bill on April 30, 2026, after lawmakers voted to remove provisions that would have protected pesticide manufacturers from lawsuits. The removed language would have also prevented states from requiring their own safety labels on chemical products. Supporters of the amendment called the vote a major win for states' rights and public health. The approved bill includes a pilot version of the PRIME Act, which helps small farmers sell beef, pork, and lamb directly to consumers. Although some members criticized ethanol mandates and predicted delays over E15 fuel standards, the House ultimately moved to pass the legislation.
