The bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan by updating definitions and adding new provisions regarding vaccines. It introduces a new definition for "gene-based vaccine," which encompasses vaccines developed using various messenger ribonucleic acid technologies, and specifies that "immunizing agent" does not include gene-based vaccines. Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of "camping" to clarify the duration of attendance at camps for school-age children. A significant new provision is the addition of Section 9228, which prohibits any person or governmental entity from ordering or administering a gene-based vaccine.

Furthermore, the bill revises Section 16221, which outlines the grounds for disciplinary action against health professionals. It includes a comprehensive list of personal disqualifications and prohibited acts that may lead to disciplinary measures, such as fraud, negligence, and unprofessional conduct. The bill also emphasizes the importance of compliance with various sections of the Public Health Code, including the newly added Section 9228, which reinforces the prohibition against gene-based vaccines. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public health regulations and clarify the legal framework surrounding immunizations in Michigan.
