California’s GMO Bill Approved by Senate Ag Committee
June 30, 2008
AB 541 is closer to becoming California’s first state law protecting farmers from the hazards of genetically engineered crops. As of June 5th the bill has been passed by the state Assembly and the state Senate Agriculture committee. The bill must now be passed by the full Senate and signed into law by the Governor. Supporters include Community Alliance with Family Farmers, the California Farmers Union, California Certified Organic Farmers, the California Farm Bureau, and various other food security and environmental organizations. AB 541 will enact protections for California farmers against frivolous lawsuits that intimidate and harass those who have not been able to prevent the inevitable – the drift of GE pollen or seed.
