Approps Committee Drops Lawsuit Shield for Crop Protection Companies

The House Appropriations Committee stripped language from the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies 2026 appropriations bill that shielded crop protection companies from lawsuits. Representatives of the Make America Healthy Again movement are taking credit for this change. Elizabeth Kucinch, who is a former policy director for the Center for Food Safety, called this “a victory for Pro Life Agriculture.” While work remains, Kucinich said this legislative win demonstrates what can be done by the MAHA movement. She said the farm bill will be their next big test.
