Well credit Monsanto for knowing their frankenseeds have risk and eliminating any future accountability.
Something conveniently not noticed and publicized until it was signed -

"The "Monsanto Protection Act" effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of controversial genetically modified (aka GMO) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds, no matter what health issues may arise concerning GMOs in the future. "
All the more reason the public has the right know if their food was polluted with GMO or GE. Companies like Monsanto and others simply 1) cannot be trusted and 2) know it.
Our lawmakers in Congress and the White House betrayed the American public on this one.
Once again, corporations win and people lose.
