Plain-English Summary
The government would ban the pesticide paraquat from being used or sold in the United States, removing all current approvals for this weedkiller. This would affect farmers, agricultural companies, and landscapers who currently use paraquat on crops and other land, forcing them to switch to alternative pesticides. The ban aims to address health and safety concerns associated with the chemical.
