GMO labeling bill gets committee assignments moved | New Mexico Telegram

GMO labeling bill gets committee assignments moved | New Mexico Telegram

A bill that would require labeling of genetically modified organisms will no longer go to the Senate Judiciary Committee but rather the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee.

The unusual moving of the bill happened during the usually-non controversial adoption of committee reports.
Senate Minority Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, threw the Senate into a loop when he asked that the committee report on the bill from the Senate Public Affairs Committee not be adopted and asked that the bill be sent to the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee before being sent to the Judiciary Committee.

Ultimately, the Senate decided to place the bill in the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee and remove it from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
