Ahh the fun of the Internet. Here is H.R. 933.
http://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20130318/BILLS-113hr933eas.pdf
Monsanto is not mentioned. Section 735 is the “Plant Protection Act” and doesn’t relate to Monsanto but vacates it, thus removing regulations for all farmers unless Obama’s EPA says otherwise in a specific case.
Yep, it does give the EPA too much power but on the other hand, it removed regulation. It did not protect Monsanto or any other entity.
Of course it doesn’t mention particular companies.
It essentially deregulates genetically modified organisms (GMOs) by allowing the U.S. Department of Agriculture to override judicial rulings and grant temporary permits for conventional farmers to plant and grow genetically modified crops while pending review. Previously, a court could suspend the planting and selling of genetically engineered crops if presented with a potential health or environmental risk or if not properly approved by the USDA. However, as legal battles persist, the “biotech rider” protects the ability of large biotech companies including Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and DuPont, to continue business as usual with the USDA’s blessing.
Monsanto has been fighting this for a while:
