This Act may be cited as the ``Pesticide Harm Accountability Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The Environmental Protection Agency too often fails to successfully incorporate the current scientific understanding to protect human health and the environment from the harmful effects of pesticide products, as intentioned by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.). Consequently, the billions of pounds of pesticides approved for use annually are allowed under outdated science. (2) The Environmental Protection Agency registers more than half, nearly 65 percent, of pesticides through conditional registrations, allowing their use before full safety data is reviewed. (3) The Environmental Protection Agency permits the continued sale of pesticides remaining on store shelves, even after their registration has been voided, suspended, or canceled. (4) The Environmental Protection Agency uses emergency exemptions to keep pesticides on the market for years without undergoing a comprehensive registration process or complete safety data t
