US EditionUS House passes farm bill after scrapping pesticide language opposed by MAHA
The 224-200 vote advances long-stalled legislation that funds farm and food-aid programs and drops a shield for pesticide makers.
- On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a five-year farm bill by 224-200 vote, after stripping a provision that would have blocked lawsuits against pesticide makers.
- The 'Make America Healthy Again' movement lobbied aggressively against the liability shield, which would have protected companies from litigation over products like Bayer's Roundup weedkiller.
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, introduced the amendment to remove the shield, which passed with bipartisan support, 280-142.
- Bayer criticized the decision, stating Congress allowed "blatant misinformation" to undermine support for U.S. farmers, while the bill maintains $187 billion in SNAP cuts.
- Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman said he would release that chamber's farm bill text in the coming weeks as the legislation heads to the Senate.
