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
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
''(z)(1) If it is a food that has been genetically engineered or
contains 1 or more genetically engineered ingredients, unless such
information is clearly disclosed, as determined by the Secretary.
''(2) This paragraph does not apply to food that--
''(A) is served in restaurants or other similar eating
establishments, such as cafeterias and carryouts;
''(B) is a medical food (as defined in section 5(b) of the
Orphan Drug Act);
''(C) is a food that would be subject to this paragraph
solely because it was produced using a genetically engineered

involving the application of--
''(i) in vitro nucleic acid techniques, including
recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and direct
injection of nucleic acid into cells or organelles; or
''(ii) fusion of cells beyond the taxonomic family
that--
''(I) overcome natural physiological
reproductive or recombinant barriers; and
''(II) are not techniques used in
traditional breeding and selection.
''(B) The term 'genetically engineered', used with respect
to a food, means a material intended for human consumption that
is--
''(i) an organism that is produced through the
intentional use of genetic engineering; or
''(ii) the progeny of intended sexual or asexual
reproduction (or both) of 1 or more organisms that is
the product of genetic engineering.
''(C) The term 'genetically engineered ingredient' means a
material that is an ingredient in a food that is derived from
any part of an organism that has been genetically engineered,
without regard to whether--
''(i) the altered molecular or cellular
characteristics of the organism are detectable in the
material; and
''(ii) the organism is capable for use as human

undertaking that--
''(i) is signed by, and contains the name and
address of, a person residing in the United States from
whom the recipient received in good faith the food
(including the receipt of seeds to grow raw
agricultural commodities); and
''(ii) contains a statement to the effect that the
food is not genetically engineered or does not contain
a genetically engineered ingredient.
''(B) In the case of a recipient who, with respect to a
food, establishes a guaranty or undertaking in accordance with
subparagraph (A), the exclusion under such subparagraph from
being subject to penalties applies to the recipient without
regard to the manner in which the recipient uses the food,
including whether the recipient is--

liability, except that a recipient may require a guaranty or
undertaking as described in this subsection.
''(D) In this subsection, the terms 'genetically
engineered' and 'genetically engineered ingredient' have the
meanings given the terms in section 403(z).''.
(2) False guaranty.--Section 301(h) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 331(h)) is amended by

meaning of section 403(z) if--
''(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

Ex 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.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Gun Crime Enforcement and Second
Amendment Restoration Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) One of the primary duties of government is to protect
its citizens from armed violent criminals. America's cherished
liberty and the social and economic prosperity of its
communities are dependent upon government's ability to maintain
public safety.
(2) Criminals, by definition, operate outside the law and
routinely acquire firearms when they so desire. Banning
specific types of firearms has no effect on the moral behavior
of those who choose to inflict harm on innocent citizens.
(3) The most effective way to protect the public from gun-
wielding violent criminals is to arrest, convict, and
incarcerate such predators, and to ensure that they serve
sentences of sufficient length to prevent them from returning
quickly to the streets.

SEC. 3. ARMED VIOLENT CRIMINAL APPREHENSION DIRECTIVE.

(a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General of the United States shall

with the following requirements:
(1) Each United States attorney shall designate at least 1
assistant United States attorney to prosecute armed violent
criminals.
(2) Each United States attorney shall establish an armed
violent criminal apprehension task force comprised of
appropriate law enforcement representatives. The task force
shall develop strategies for removing armed violent criminals
from the streets, taking into consideration--
(A) the importance of severe punishment in
deterring armed violent crime;
(B) the effectiveness of Federal and State laws
pertaining to apprehension and prosecution of armed
violent criminals;
(C) the resources available to each law enforcement
agency participating in the task force;
(D) the nature and extent of the violent crime
occurring in the district for which the United States
attorney is appointed; and
(E) the principle of limited Federal involvement in
the prosecution of crimes traditionally prosecuted in
State and local jurisdictions.
(3) Not less frequently than monthly, the Attorney General
shall require each United States attorney to report to the
Department of Justice the number of defendants charged with, or
convicted of, violating section 922(g) or 924 of title 18,
United States Code, in the district for which the United States
attorney is appointed.
(4) Not less frequently than twice annually, the Attorney
General shall submit to the Congress a compilation of the
information received by the Department of Justice pursuant to
paragraph (3) and a report on all waivers granted under
subsection (b).
(b) Waiver Authority.--
(1) Request for waiver.--A United States attorney may
request the Attorney General to waive the requirements of
subsection (a) with respect to the United States attorney.
(2) Provision of waiver.--The Attorney General may waive
the requirements of subsection (a) pursuant to a request made
under paragraph (1), in accordance with guidelines which shall
be established by the Attorney General. In establishing the
guidelines, the Attorney General shall take into consideration
the number of assistant United States attorneys in the office
of the United States attorney making the request and the level
of violent crime committed in the district for which the United
States attorney is appointed.
(c) Armed Violent Criminal Defined.--As used in this section,
the term ''armed violent criminal'' means a person who is accused of
violating section 922(g)(1) of title 18, United States Code, having
been previously convicted of a violent crime, or who is accused of
violating section 924 of such title.
(d) Sunset.--This section shall have no force or effect after
the 5-year period that begins 180 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act.

SEC. 4. REPEAL OF THE PROHIBITIONS RELATING TO SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT
WEAPONS AND LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICES.

(a) Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
striking subsections (v) and (w) and by striking the appendix.
(b) Section 921(a) of such title is amended by striking paragraph
(30).
(c) Section 921(a)(31)(A) of such title is amended--
(1) by striking ''manufactured after the date of enactment
of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994'';
