"On April 20, 2005 the Dorothy King Young Chapter Board approved a motion to formally oppose any preemptive seed legislation intended at the state or federal level to override local initiatives that restrict planting and growth of genetically modified organisms.
Without debating the pros and cons of local GE bans, it is worth noting that these State preemption bills sweep very broadly and generally would not allow any local regulation of seeds, even if the seed may present weediness risks in that locality. The bills are not limited to GE crop seeds."
