If this law is adapted it will be interesting to see if this falls within a state's right to regulate as patent law is Federally based. Additionally, I predict that GMO producers will challenge the law on a constitutional basis inasmuch as it interferes with interstate commerce. Regulation of GMO products from a health and safety point of view I do believe falls under the purview of Federal Authority. I don't believe the State is entitled to adopt higher standards than the federal government in this area.

But we will see.

Personally, as a non-scientist, it seems to me we are just doing in the lab in a more rapid fashion what we have been doing by using breeding techniques in the field.
