Page 3 <br />S.B. NO. ".113 <br />1 " "Genetically engineered food crop" means a plant in which <br />2 the genetic material has been changed through modern <br />3 biotechnology in a way that does not occur naturally by <br />4 multiplication or natural recombination, or both. <br />5 "Genetically engineered whole food" means any genetically <br />6 engineered food crop in its raw or natural state, including all <br />7 fruits that are washed, colored, or otherwise treated in their <br />8 unpeeled natural form prior to marketing. <br />9 "Modern biotechnology" means the application of in vitro <br />10 nucleic acid techniques, including recombinant deoxyribonucleic <br />11 acid and direct injection of nucleic acid into cells or <br />12 organelles. This also includes the fusion of cells (including <br />13 protoplast fusion) or hybridization techniques beyond the <br />14 taxonomic family that overcome natural physiological, <br />15 reproductive, or recombination barriers and that are not <br />16 techniques used in traditional breeding and selection. These <br />17 include but are not limited to recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid <br />18 techniques that use vector systems and techniques involving the <br />19 direct introduction into the organism of hereditary materials <br />20 prepared outside the organism such as micro— injection, macro - <br />21 injection, chemoporation, electroporation, micro— encapsulation <br />22 and liposome fusion." <br />• 2011 -0122 SB SMA.doc <br />III I II III III � �I I IC �I I I I � �IIII II � II I I IIII II II III IIIII D II IIII <br />
