''Sec. 242. (a) The procedure prescribed by, and all the
provisions of chapter 158 of title 28, United States Code, shall apply
to, and shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for, the judicial
review of all final orders of removal heretofore or hereafter made
against aliens within the United States pursuant to administrative
proceedings under section 240 of this Act or comparable provisions of
any prior Act, except that--
''(1) a petition for review may be filed not later than 90
days after the date of the issuance of the final removal order,
or, in the case of an alien convicted of an aggravated felony
not later than 30 days after the issuance of such order;
''(2) the venue of any petition for review under this
section shall be in the judicial circuit in which the
administrative proceedings before an immigration judge were
conducted in whole or in part, or in the judicial circuit
wherein is the residence, as defined in this Act, of the
petitioner, but not in more than one circuit;
''(3) the action shall be brought against the Department of
Homeland Security, as respondent. Service of the petition to
review shall be made upon the Secretary of Homeland Security of
the United States and upon the official of the Department of
Homeland Security in charge of the district in which the office
of the clerk of the court is located. The service of the
petition for review upon such official of the Service shall
stay the removal of the alien pending determination of the
petition by the court, unless the court otherwise directs or
unless the alien is convicted of an aggravated felony, in which
case the Service shall not stay the removal of the alien
pending determination of the petition of the court unless the
court otherwise directs;
''(4) except as provided in clause (B) of paragraph (5) of
this subsection, the petition shall be determined solely upon
the administrative record upon which the removal order is based
and the Secretary of Homeland Security's findings of fact, if
supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence on
the record considered as a whole, shall be conclusive;
''(5) whenever any petitioner, who seeks review of an order
under this section, claims to be a national of the United
States and makes a showing that his claim is not frivolous, the
court shall (A) pass upon the issues presented when it appears
from the pleadings and affidavits filed by the parties that no
genuine issue of material fact is presented; or (B) where a
genuine issue of material fact as to the petitioner's
nationality is presented, transfer the proceedings to a United
States district court for the district where the petitioner has
his residence for hearing de novo of the nationality claim and
determination as if such proceedings were originally initiated
in the district court under the provisions of section 2201 of
title 28, United States Code. Any such petitioner shall not be
entitled to have such issue determined under section 360(a) of
this Act or otherwise;
''(6) whenever a petitioner seeks review of an order under
this section, any review sought with respect to a motion to
reopen or reconsider such an order shall be consolidated with
the review of the order;
''(7) if the validity of a removal order has not been
judicially determined, its validity may be challenged in a
criminal proceeding against the alien for violation of
subsection (a) or (b) of section 243 of this Act only by
separate motion for judicial review before trial. Such motion
shall be determined by the court without a jury and before the
trial of the general issue. Whenever a claim to United States
nationality is made in such motion, and in the opinion of the
court, a genuine issue of material fact as to the alien's
nationality is presented, the court shall accord him a hearing
de novo on the nationality claim and determine that issue as if
proceedings had been initiated under the provisions of section
2201 of title 28, United States Code. Any such alien shall not
be entitled to have such issue determined under section 360(a)
of this Act or otherwise. If no such hearing de novo as to
nationality is conducted, the determination shall be made
solely upon the administrative record upon which the removal
order is based and the Secretary of Homeland Security's
findings of fact, if supported by reasonable, substantial, and
probative evidence on the record considered as a whole, shall
be conclusive. If the removal order is held invalid, the court
shall dismiss the indictment and the United States shall have
the right to appeal to the court of appeals within 30 days. The
procedure on such appeals shall be as provided in the Federal
rules of criminal procedure. No petition for review under this
section may be filed by any alien during the pendency of a
criminal proceeding against such alien for violation of
subsection (a) or (b) of section 243 of this Act;
''(8) nothing in this section shall be construed to require
the Secretary of Homeland Security to defer removal of an alien
after the issuance of a removal order because of the right of
judicial review of the order granted by this section, or to
relieve any alien from compliance with subsections (a) and (b)
of section 243 of this Act. Nothing contained in this section
shall be construed to preclude the Secretary of Homeland
Security from detaining or continuing to detain an alien or
from taking the alien into custody pursuant to section 241 of
this Act at any time after the issuance of a removal order;
''(9) it shall not be necessary to print the record or any
part thereof, or the briefs, and the court shall review the
proceedings on a typewritten record and on typewritten briefs;
and
''(10) any alien held in custody pursuant to an order of
removal may obtain judicial review thereof by habeas corpus
proceedings.
''(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, any alien
against whom a final order of removal has been made heretofore or
hereafter under the provisions of section 235 of this Act or comparable
provisions of any prior Act may obtain judicial review of such order by
habeas corpus proceedings and not otherwise.
''(c) An order of removal shall not be reviewed by any court if the
alien has not exhausted the administrative remedies available to the
alien as of right under the immigration laws and regulations or if the
alien has departed from the United States after the issuance of the
order. Every petition for review or for habeas corpus shall state
whether the validity of the order has been upheld in any prior judicial
proceeding, and, if so, the nature and date thereof, and the court in
which such proceeding took place. No petition for review or for habeas
corpus shall be entertained if the validity of the order has been
previously determined in any civil or criminal proceeding, unless the
petition presents grounds which the court finds could not have been
presented in such prior proceeding, or the court finds that the remedy
provided by such prior proceeding was inadequate or ineffective to test
the validity of the order.
''(d)(1) A petition for review or for habeas corpus on behalf of an
alien against whom a final order of removal has been issued pursuant to
section 238(b) may challenge only--
''(A) whether the alien is in fact the alien described in
the order;
''(B) whether the alien is in fact an alien described in
section 238(b)(2);
''(C) whether the alien has been convicted of an aggravated
felony and such conviction has become final; and
''(D) whether the alien was afforded the procedures
required by section 238(b)(4).
''(2) No court shall have jurisdiction to review any issue other
than an issue described in paragraph (1).''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to
determinations pending on or after such date with respect to which--
(1) a final administrative decision has been/not been
rendered as of such date; or
(2) such a decision has been rendered but the period for
seeking judicial review of the decision has not expired.

(a) In General.--Notwithstanding section 240(c)(6) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1229a(c)(6)) or any other
limitation imposed by law on motions to reopen removal proceedings, the
Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish a process (whether
through permitting the reopening of a removal proceeding or otherwise)
under which an alien--
(1) who is (or was) in removal proceedings before the date
of the enactment of this Act (whether or not the alien has been
removed as of such date); and
(2) whose eligibility for cancellation of removal has been
established by this Act;
may apply (or reapply) for cancellation of removal under section
240A(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1229b(a)) as a
beneficiary of the relief provided under this Act.

aliens removed from the United States to participate in the process
established under subsection (a).

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Genetically Engineered Food Right-
to-Know Act''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.

(a) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to establish a consistent
and enforceable standard for labeling of foods produced using genetic
engineering, including fish, thereby providing consumers with knowledge
of how their food is produced.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the process of genetically engineering food organisms
results in material changes to food derived from those
organisms;
(2) the Food and Drug Administration requires the labeling
of more than 3,000 ingredients, additives, and processes;
(3) individuals in the United States have a right to know
if their food was produced with genetic engineering for a
variety of reasons, including health, economic, environmental,
religious, and ethical;
(4) more than 60 countries, including the United Kingdom
and all other countries of the European Union, South Korea,
Japan, Brazil, Australia, India, China, and other key United
States trading partners have laws or regulations mandating
disclosure of genetically engineered food on food labels;
(5) in 2011, Codex Alimentarius, the food standards
organization of the United Nations, adopted a text that
indicates that governments can decide on whether and how to
label foods produced with genetic engineering; and
(6) mandatory identification of food produced with genetic
engineering can be a critical method of preserving the economic
value of exports or domestically sensitive markets with
labeling requirements for genetically engineered foods.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT.

(a) In General.--Section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and

agricultural commodities); and
''(ii) contains a statement to the effect that the
food is not genetically engineered or does not contain

''(B) In the case of a recipient who, with respect to a
food, establishes a guaranty or undertaking in accordance with

''(i) such person is an agricultural producer and
the violation occurs because food that is grown,
raised, or otherwise produced by such producer, which
food does not contain a genetically engineered material
and was not produced with a genetically engineered
material, is contaminated with a food that contains a
genetically engineered material or was produced with a
genetically engineered material; and
''(ii) such contamination is not intended by the
agricultural producer.
''(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to an agricultural
producer to the extent that the contamination occurs as a

Output: Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to deem misbranded any food that has been genetically engineered or contains one or more genetically engineered ingredients, unless such information is clearly disclosed. Exempts from this requirement any food that: (1) is served in restaurants or other similar eating establishments, (2) is a medical food, (3) would be subject to such requirement solely because it was produced using a genetically engineered vaccine, or (4) would be subject to such requirement solely because it includes the use of a genetically engineered processing aid (including yeast) or enzyme. Defines "genetically engineered" as a material intended for human consumption that is: (1) an organism produced through the intentional use of genetic engineering, or (2) the progeny of intended sexual or asexual reproduction (or both) of one or more organisms that is the product of genetic engineering. Defines "genetically engineered ingredient" as an ingredient in a food that is derived from any part of an organism that has been genetically engineered, without regard to whether: (1) the altered molecular or cellular characteristics of the organism are detectable in the material, and (2) the organism is capable for use as human food. Excludes from penalties for misbranding of genetically engineered food or ingredients any recipient that establishes a guaranty or undertaking that: (1) is signed by, and contains the name and address of, a person residing in the United States from whom the recipient received the food in good faith (including the receipt of seeds to grow raw agricultural commodities); and (2) contains a statement to the effect that the food is not genetically engineered or does not contain a genetically engineered ingredient. Applies this exclusion from penalties without regard to the manner in which the recipient uses the food. Excludes an agricultural producer also from such penalties when a violation occurs because food the producer has grown, raised, or otherwise produced, which neither contains nor was produced with a genetically engineered material, is subsequently contaminated with a food that does contain or was produced with a genetically engineered material, and the agricultural producer has not intended any such contamination nor was negligent in the matter.
