Dear Supporter,
Great news! The House Commerce and Consumer Protection Finance and Policy Committee has scheduled an informational hearing for HF 3140, to label genetically engineered foods in Minnesota. This hearing is an important first step in getting the bill heard and passed next legislative session.
We want to pack the room! Can you attend the Hearing on Thursday, April 24 at 8:45 a.m.? If you can’t attend you can still contact your legislators to support labeling genetically engineered foods in Minnesota.
Two new GMO labeling bills were introduced in the Minnesota Legislature this year, HF 3140 and SF 2865. In this year’s ‘unsession’, the legislature is focusing on cleaning up old, outdated legislation, rather than working on new bills. So it’s unlikely that these GMO labeling bills will get floor votes in 2014. The informational hearing is an important opportunity to educate legislators and lay the groundwork for next year’s campaign.
If your state Representative is on the Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee, please take the time to call them AND send an email. Click here for a list of Committee members. You can use this link to look up your lawmakers’ contact information and to send a message. Be sure to thank them for the informational hearing and ask for their support of HF 3140.
Farmers, consumers, retailers and restaurants are standing together in Minnesota for transparency in our food system. Let's make Minnesota the first heartland state to label GMOs! Contact your legislators today!
