AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend South Carolina's agricultural code by adding a new section that prohibits food products with the "Certified SC Grown" designation from containing messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), which is a type of genetic material commonly associated with vaccine development. The bill requires the Department of Agriculture to mandate that applicants for the "Certified SC Grown" designation certify that their food products do not contain mRNA. Violations of this requirement would be considered a misdemeanor, with potential penalties including a fine up to $500 or imprisonment for up to 30 days, and each violation would be treated as a separate offense. The bill would take effect upon approval by the Governor, and appears to be part of a broader movement expressing concern about mRNA technology in food production.
