     3    § 1356. Labeling genetically  modified  salmon.  Genetically  modified
     4  salmon  that  is sold, offered or exposed for sale in packaging shall be
     5  plainly and conspicuously labeled  or  marked  as  genetically  modified
     6  salmon. Genetically modified salmon that is sold at a market or deli and
     7  is  not  packaged,  shall  be  marked or labeled as genetically modified
     8  salmon with a plainly and conspicuously labeled sign located  near  such
     9  salmon.  Under  this section, genetically modified salmon means a salmon
    10  that has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.
    11    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
