How the Monsanto Protection Act snuck into law | NODISINFO
Slipped into the Agricultural Appropriations Bill, which passed through
Congress last week, was a small provision that’s a big deal for Monsanto
and its opponents. The provision protects genetically modified seeds
from litigation in the face of health risks and has thus been dubbed the
“Monsanto Protection Act” by activists who oppose the biotech giant.
President Barack Obama signed the spending bill, including the
provision, into law on Tuesday.
