Relates to prohibiting the sale of live genetically modified salmon

This bill prohibits the sale or introduction of live genetically modified (GM) salmon in New York. It directly affects businesses selling salmon and aquaculture operations, banning sales of live GM salmon defined as fish altered using modern genetic engineering techniques (like lab-created DNA changes or cell fusion beyond natural breeding). The law also explicitly prevents the release of GM salmon into farm ponds without state department approval. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
