Does this bill give any power or help to corporations like Monsanto? -
A1: Yes, it gives corporations like Monsanto a monopoly on the food industry by making it extremely expensive for small farmers to afford to grow organic. The bill also states as it's purpose "promulgate regulations to establish science-based minimum standards for the safe production of food by food production facilities." so basically if it is declared that GMO foods are scientifically "safer" than organic, then it will be illegal to grow non-GMO seeds and sell them to the public. These "food safety" bills in Congress were written by Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc., companies that practice and promote the opposite of food safety.
A2: The bill sponsor, Rosa Delauro (D-CT) is married to Stanley Greenberg. One of his corporate clients is Monsanto. Draw your own conclusions.

Big farm industries will be better equipped to deal with the bureaucratic requirements and penalties (in the Bills current form); potentially squeezing out smaller operations.
