Missouri legislators are considering a good bill to protect residents from undisclosed exposure to genetically modified materials, including vaccines and gene therapies.

SB 252 requires labeling of products with potential or confirmed gene-altering properties and full disclosure by companies about how their products could expose others to genetically modified material.

This bill empowers Missourians to make fully informed decisions about their health and holds corporations accountable for transparency.

SB 252 was referred to the Senate Family, Seniors & Health Committee on 2-13-25.

Calls are more effective than emails and only take a few minutes. Below is a Sample Script along with additional Talking Points. Use your own words when you call or email – a personal message is always more effective than a form message!

SAMPLE SCRIPT
“Hello, my name is _____, and I’m a resident of _____. I urge Senator _____ to SUPPORT SB 252, which safeguards Missourians’ right to know if they’re being exposed to genetically modified materials.

This bill ensures products like food, vaccines and gene therapies are clearly labeled, forces companies to disclose risks of indirect exposure, and mandates informed consent.

No one should be subjected to medical interventions without their knowledge.

SB 252 would be strengthened by adding penalties for non-compliance to ensure accountability.

Please vote YES to defend bodily autonomy and transparency in Missouri.”

TALKING POINTS

1. Informed Consent: Proper labeling allows individuals to make informed choices about their consumption.

• Personal Impact: Share your story about why honest labeling of products matters to you.
• Labeling saves lives. Products altering genetics must be clearly marked to protect vulnerable populations.

• Corporate accountability matters. Companies profit from risky technologies—they must disclose how their products impact others.

• Penalize non-compliance. Without consequences, corporations will ignore transparency laws.

• Indirect exposure is real. Aerosols, skin contact, or food supply contamination must be disclosed.

• Genetic modifications carry unknowns. Missourians deserve full transparency.
