Bipartisan amendment strips pesticide liability protections from farm bill before final vote

The House voted 280-142 with bipartisan support to remove provisions that would have shielded pesticide manufacturers from certain lawsuits. "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) activists, aligned with Trump's health agenda, lobbied heavily against the protections. The amendment passed and was incorporated into the final bill that passed 224-200. (CNBC, Apr. 30, 2026)
