\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Proposed Laws Have Failed in 4 States<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Voters in four states have rejected mandatory labeling of food containing genetically modified ingredients:\u00a0 Washington (2013), California (2012), Colorado (2014), and Oregon (2014).\u00a0\u00a0The Washington and California proposed laws failed by approximately 2% of the vote, and last week the law in Oregon failed by only 1%.\u00a0 Supporters of the laws say they are not going away, and that they will keep advocating for these laws in states across the country.\u00a0 [Read article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenewstribune.com\/2014\/11\/05\/3473714_despite-losses-gmo-label-backers.html?&amp;rh=1\">here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Laws Have Passed in 3 States<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Three states have passed mandatory labeling laws:\u00a0 Connecticut, Maine, and Vermont.\u00a0 The laws passed in Connecticut and Maine will not go into effect until other surrounding states pass similar laws.\u00a0 For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cga.ct.gov\/2013\/ACT\/pa\/pdf\/2013PA-00183-R00HB-06527-PA.pdf\">the Connecticut law<\/a>, passed in 2013, provides that it does not become effective until four states&#8211;at least one of which borders Connecticut&#8211;pass similar laws and the aggregate population of states in the Northeast that have enacted a similar mandatory labeling law exceeds 20 million persons.\u00a0 Similarly, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mainelegislature.org\/legis\/bills\/getPDF.asp?paper=HP0490&amp;item=1&amp;snum=126\">Maine law<\/a> becomes effective only when similar laws have been adopted by 5 other states or in a state or states with a population or combined population of 20 million.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.vt.us\/docs\/2014\/Acts\/ACT120.pdf\">Vermont law<\/a>, however, is set to go into effect July 1, 2016.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burlingtonfreepress.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2014\/06\/12\/gma-sues-vt-gmo-law\/10389209\/\">A lawsuit<\/a> was brought by trade groups, including the National Grocery Manufactures Association, claiming that the law is unconstitutional.\u00a0 Plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary injunction preventing the law from going into effect.\u00a0 Oral arguments on that motion will be heard in mid-December.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Arguments For and Against<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Supporters of GMO labeling laws argue that consumers have the right to know what is in the foods they are eating.\u00a0 Further, they argue that in the absence of a federal regulatory scheme, it should be left to the states to pass laws in order to provide this information.\u00a0 Oftentimes, supporters also argue that foods containing ingredients that were genetically modified pose a danger to the environment and human health.\u00a0 Supporters often point to the fact that at least 40 other countries have passed some form of GMO labeling law and argue that by joining in this group, the US could increase export capacity to these nations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Opponents of these laws claim that they unconstitutionally violate the First Amendment by mandating speech.\u00a0 Additionally, they point to studies conducted by the USDA that have found no health or safety risks from GMO crops, and claim therefore that such laws are unnecessary and misleading to consumers.\u00a0 Additionally, opponents argue that this type of regulation is best left to the USDA&#8211;which has not found it necessary to act&#8211;rather than allowing each state to pass its own law, creating a patchwork of laws that would harm interstate commerce and increase the costs of food prices across the country.\u00a0 According to one study from Cornell University, had\u00a0the proposed ballot initiative in Colorado passed, it would have increased food costs for a family of 4 by $500 per year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For a summary of these arguments and
