This bill aims to prohibit the enforcement of government-mandated vaccine requirements in Minnesota, asserting the state's rights and individual liberties as protected by the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically states that no government entity or its representatives can enforce mandatory vaccinations, vaccine passports, or related credentials through any federal or state legal mechanisms.
Additionally, the bill mandates that if an employer in Minnesota decides to require vaccinations, they must accept proof of natural antibodies as a valid alternative to vaccination. This provision ensures that individuals who have recovered from an infection can demonstrate their immunity without being compelled to receive a vaccine. The new legal language is proposed to be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 144, and the bill is set to take effect the day after it is enacted.
