Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025

This proposal would let people who are hurt by a pesticide—either their body or their property—sue the company that registered that pesticide in federal court to get money for the harm done . Courts could award compensatory damages (to cover losses) and, if the court decides, punitive damages (to punish severe wrongdoing). However, it does not allow payment of attorney fees or court costs as part of the award . It also says people can still bring claims under state law; this new path does not replace or block state options .

Here are the key points:

• Who is affected: Anyone whose person or property is harmed by a pesticide; companies that register pesticides could be sued .
• What changes: Creates a clear right to sue in federal district court for money damages; allows compensatory and possible punitive damages; does not allow recovery of attorney fees or court costs; keeps state-law claims available .
• When: The text does not specify an effective date .
