🚨 URGENT ACTION NEEDED IN KANSAS 🚨
*Update* - since this hearing was barely scheduled with 24 hours’ notice, the committee Chair Ken Rahjes has extended the opportunity to submit testimony for the official record to Monday 1/26/2026. Thank you, Representative Rahjes.
Kansas lawmakers are considering HB 2476, a dangerous bill that would shield pesticide manufacturers from accountability when they fail to warn people about serious health risks.
After being introduced only yesterday, the hearing is at 3:30 pm today Wednesday, January 21, 2026, in the House Agriculture Committee!
If passed, HB 2476 would deny Kansans the right to hold pesticide manufacturers accountable for harm—putting corporate profits over public health, consumer safety, and environmental protection.
Take action NOW by Contacting your state Representative and urge them to OPPOSE HB 2476
Failure-to-warn claims are the foundation of most pesticide injury cases and are essential for protecting people when regulation falls short. These bills are part of a nationwide push by petrochemical corporations. Together we can stop them.
