Action Alert - Genetic Engineering Policy Alliance (774 words) |
 | AB 541 passed out of the Assembly Judiciary Committee in April 2007 with a 7-to-3 vote of support, and has been held in the Assembly Agriculture Committee for a second hearing in January 2008. |
| AB 541 importantly establishes the right of farmers and other landowners to recover damages if their property is contaminated by GE crops, and it places the responsibility for the economic harms that arise where it belongs with the manufacturer, the owner of the GE seed or plant. |
| AB 541 also establishes a GE crop notification process where farmers and researchers growing GE crops report the growing of their crops to their county Agriculture Commissioners. |
