A bill to amend the Federal Seed Act.

Provides, under the Federal Seed Act, that any labeling, advertisement, or other representation subject to such Act which represents that any seed is certified seed or any class thereof shall be deemed to be false in this respect unless: (1) it has been determined by a seed certifying agency that such seed conformed to standards of genetic purity and identity as to kind or variety, and is compliance with the rules and regulations of such agency pertaining to such seed; and (2) the seed bears an official label issued for such seed by a seed certifying agency certifying that the seed is of a specified class and a specified kind or variety.

States that seed of a variety for which an application for a certificate or a certificate of plant variety protection under the Plant Variety Protection Act specifies sale only as a class of certified seed shall be certified only when: (1) the basic seed from which the seed was produced was furnished by authority of the owner of the variety if the seed is certified while the application is pending or during the term of protection, and (2) it conforms to the number of generations designated by the application or certificate, if the application or certificate contains such a designation.
