Bill: GM Food Labelling Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Grand National Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 3576
Description[?]:
| Genetically modified food is perfectly safe to consume. There is no justification for intrusive government regulations requiring companies to label them in products. All this legal requirement does is fuel irrational hysteria against GM food. Of course, there is nothing to prevent companies from voluntarily labelling GM ingredients in response to consumer pressure. Bron Woodhall GNP spokesperson |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
