In North Dakota, a trio of bills and one concurrent resolution on Genetically Modified Wheat, have Dakota Resource Council's support. The bills are:

HB 1338 is a two-year moratorium on the introduction of GM wheat in the state. This bill was heard in the House Agriculture Committee on February 8th and recently passed the committee 14-0.

HB 1442 would put limits on the rights of companies who hold patents on GMO crops to collect samples from farmers without permission. This bill was also heard on February 8th and is waiting committee action.

SB 2235 authorizes the state seed commission to do analysis of seed samples to establish genetic identities of varieties. This bill has passed the Senate Agriculture Committee on a 6 to 0 vote and passed the Senate Floor on a 49 to 0 vote.

The resolution HCR 3046 hasn’t been heard in committee yet. This is a resolution calling for study into the affects of GM wheat.
