Tuesday, Governor Jim Pillen signed LB246, banning the production, sale,
promotion and distribution of fake meat in Nebraska. The bill was
sponsored on the Governor's behalf by Senator Barry DeKay.
Putting this ban into law builds on the Governor's effort to protect
producers and consumers from the fake meat industry, which was initiated
with the issuance of
Executive Order 24-09, prohibiting state agencies from purchasing
lab-grown meat and requiring state contractors to certify that they will
not discriminate against natural-meat producers in favor of laboratory or
cultivated-meat producers.
