Bill > A03441

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law of New York to prohibit the sale of live genetically modified salmon. The bill defines genetically modified salmon as those produced using techniques such as recombinant DNA or cell fusion that go beyond traditional breeding and selection methods. The bill also prohibits the department from authorizing the introduction of genetically engineered salmon into farm fish ponds. The bill is intended to restrict the sale and release of genetically modified salmon in New York.
