This Preemption Toolkit has been developed by the Center for Food Safety, Environmental Commons, Organic Consumers Association, CA GE-Free, Ohio Environmental Council, Institute for Social Ecology, Southern Forests Network, and the Farmer to Farmer Campaign on Genetic Engineering.
It is aimed to fight back against a national movement by the biotech industry to pass new state laws that strip away county and city powers to regulate locally-grown food crops and other plants, whether they are biotech plants or not.
With sixteen state legislatures introducing seed and plant preemption bills, the following toolkit is available to assist you in fighting preemptive legislation in your state. If your state already has a preemption bill in place, there are also tips on repealing such legislation. And, of course, all of the organizations listed are available to assist with any questions as well as more in depth strategizing.
