What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Immunity for Glyphosate Act," aims to stop the use of Federal funds for the implementation of a specific Executive order regarding elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides. It prohibits Federal funds from being used to administer or enforce the Executive order issued on February 18, 2026 (Section 2). Additionally, the act allows individuals or their representatives to bring civil actions against entities that manufacture, distribute, or sell these substances if they suffer physical injury, illness, disease, or death (Section 3a). It defines covered entities as those involved in the manufacturing, distribution, formulation, supply, or sale of these substances (Section s 3b). The bill removes legal immunity and specific defenses that entities might otherwise use under the Defense Production Act of 1950 (Section 3e and 3f).
