HB 2476 was passed in the House on Thursday, January 29th, and is now headed to a committee in the Senate.

HB 2476 is the latest bill brought to a state house over the past two years by the pharmaceutical and German chemical giant Bayer, as part of Bayer’s efforts to secure product liability shields for all pesticide manufacturers, foreign and domestic, for all 57,000 EPA registered pesticide products. Under federal and state law, the term “pesticide” includes all herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, and more, that are used not just in agriculture, but homes, schools, offices, on playgrounds and parks and golf courses.

Everyone, everywhere, is exposed to these products.

HB 2476 impacts every single Kansan.
