North DakotaLawmakers must consider a study of cell-cultured protein rules
During the 2025–26 interim, North Dakota Legislative Management must consider studying cell-cultured protein rules and whether the state could prohibit it.
What it does
The law requires Legislative Management to consider studying cell-cultured protein, including whether North Dakota could prohibit it. It does not require the study itself.
Argument forA study could help lawmakers weigh court cases, effects on interested groups, and whether a state ban would be workable.
Argument againstBecause Legislative Management only has to consider a study, lawmakers may not receive findings to guide future decisions.
More detail
Legislative Management must consider studying cell-cultured protein and whether North Dakota could prohibit it. The study would cover court cases in other states, regulations, effects on interested groups, and whether a state ban is workable. The consideration is for the 2025–26 interim. If Legislative Management conducts the study, it must report findings, recommendations, and any needed legislation to the 70th Legislative Assembly.
