| Background |
|
Biopharming is the production of pharmaceutical proteins or other materials in genetically engineered plants and animals.
The governor and the 2005 Senate charged the Oregon departments of Agriculture and Human Services with convening a Biopharming Ad Hoc Committee to develop a consensus policy recommendation to the governor regarding biopharmaceuticals produced in human food or animal feed crops.

| 2008 rule change update |
|
Summary of the October 14, 2008, Proposed Rule Hearing on biopharm rules:
1.) There are still some fundamental differences of opinion about whether the proposed approach is too strong or not strong enough, and
2.) DHS needs to develop and adopt parallel rules.
ODA will be considering the comments we received. At a minimum, most of the references to DHS will come out, as will some of the information about the federal permit process. Our plan is to proceed side-by-side with DHS so that the resulting rules will work for both agencies.
