Oregon Court of Appeals affirms ruling overturning GMO ban
September 26, 2017
A ruling that invalidated a GMO ban in Oregon’s Josephine County has been affirmed on appeal.
The Oregon Court of Appeals has affirmed that a prohibition against genetically engineered crops in Josephine County is pre-empted by state law.
Voters in Josephine County approved the ban in 2014, nearly a year after state lawmakers passed a bill barring local governments from regulating genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
