WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) Executive Vice President for Food and Agriculture Sharon Bomer Lauritsen today issued the following statement on California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s veto of SB 63: Today, California Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed Senate Bill 63, and showed his support for the modern tools of agriculture that can lead to a more healthful and high-quality food supply. The biotechnology industry applauds Governor Schwarzenegger for saying “no” to unnecessary and anti-biotechnology labeling requirements that would have been misleading for California consumers and placed California ranchers and livestock producers at a competitive disadvantage.
