Congress finds that— biotechnology harnesses the power of biology to create new products and provides opportunities to grow the United States economy, provide jobs for a skilled workforce, improve resilience of supply chains, and improve the quality of human lives and the environment; and a science-based, risk-proportionate, predictable, efficient, and transparent system to support the safe use of products of biotechnology will enable the United States to continue to be a world leader in biotechnology research and development.
The purpose of this Act is to coordinate and enhance the efforts of the Federal Government under the Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology to protect health and the environment while enabling the development, commercialization, and safe use of products derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms developed with biotechnology.
