Here is the Plant Protection Act that section 735 voids.

Good luck with finding GMO or genetically modified in that too.

Other than increasing the EPA’s powers, the bill itself does almost the opposite of what is claimed on these blogs. It eliminates regulations that are what hurt smaller farmers. It would do nothing for big agribusiness that always find ways around the system. At that, Monsanto’s presence grew after the Plant Protection act and more and more small farmers were pushed out, so eliminating it hopefully will mitigate that.
