In the 2024 legislative session a bill (SF 2412) was introduced that would remove the right of individuals to sue if they get sick from using glyphosate (a compound found in Roundup). Similar bills were introduced in other states including Idaho, Missouri, and Florida. While the bill did not pass in any state in this year, we anticipate Bayer wield their money and influence to try to get this bill passed in 2025.

Iowa is second in the nation for incidence of cancer and the only state where rates are rising. When Bayer purchased Monsanto in 2018, it knew about the lawsuits that were being filed over the use of Roundup. This bill would shield a chemical company worth over 30 billion dollars from accountability, while stripping away the rights of Iowans to sue for damages.
