SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Genetically Engineered 
Pharmaceutical and Industrial Crop Safety Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) A pharmaceutical crop or industrial crop is 
a plant that has been genetically engineered to 
produce a medical or industrial product, including a 
human or veterinary drug, biologic, industrial, or re-
search chemical, or enzyme. 
(2) The Department of Agriculture has issued 
‘‘split approval’’ permits to allow the cultivation of 
10 food crops genetically engineered to produce bio-
pharmaceuticals or chemicals that are not approved 
for human consumption. As of January 1, 2003, 
more than 300 field trials have been conducted in 
the United States. In nearly 70 percent of these 
tests, corn has been the crop used, but other crops 
tested include soybean, tobacco, rice, alfalfa, barley, 
rapeseed (canola), wheat, tomato, safflower, and 
sugercane. 
(3) Many of the novel substances produced in 
pharmaceutical crops and industrial crops exhibit
