Stop pesticide producers from gaining liability immunity.

Published May 5th, 2025.

The proposed North Carolina Senate Farm Bill SB639 Section 19 will give immunity to pesticide manufacturers from liability associated with adverse health effects or injuries from their chemicals.

North Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee Members.

It is extremely important that you contact the North Carolina Senators to let them know that:

1). You do not support liability immunity for pesticide manufacturers.

2). You support state and local government passing regulation on pesticide application, especially near schools.

3). You support protections for farm workers and school children, NOT for chemical companies.

4). People affected by exposure to pesticides should be able to sue, and pesticide companies should be held accountable.

5). Product safety is the responsibility of pesticide manufacturers and not the EPA.

At least 21 states are reportedly introducing legislation to provide similar liability immunity for pesticide producers. You can contact your respective state house and senate representatives.
