New legislation has been introduced in both houses of Congress that would effectively replace key parts of the Federal Insecticide Rodenticide and Fungicide Act (FIFRA). The bill is called the FIFRA Reform and Children’s Health Protection Act of 2020 (H.R. 7940, S, 4406) and was sponsored by Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., and Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. If enacted, then this legislation would in effect replace EPA science-based risk/benefit procedures with a more European Union (EU)-type hazard-based process.
