The bill H. 3747 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 46-3-290, which prohibits the use of the "Certified SC Grown" designation on any food or food products that contain modified ribonucleic acid (modRNA). The legislation mandates that applicants for this designation must certify that their products do not contain modRNA.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations of this provision. Specifically, individuals who improperly label their food or food products with the "Certified SC Grown" designation while containing modRNA may face misdemeanor charges, with potential fines of up to five hundred dollars or imprisonment for up to thirty days. Each violation is treated as a separate offense, and the act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
