Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This Act makes it easier and faster for scientists to develop new crops and farm animals using precision breeding techniques (genetic changes that could happen naturally, but happen much quicker in the lab). It removes some of the strict regulations that previously treated these as genetically modified organisms, allowing them to be developed and sold more quickly in the UK.
