This bill proposes a new law in Minnesota that prohibits the administration of gene-based vaccines, defined as vaccines developed using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology, modified mRNA technology, self-amplifying mRNA technology, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. Under the new section 144.063, it is stated that no individual may provide or administer such vaccines within the state. Additionally, the appropriate licensing board is tasked with reviewing the licenses of individuals who violate this prohibition and may take necessary licensing actions against them.
Furthermore, the bill establishes a penalty for violations, classifying the act of administering a gene-based vaccine as a misdemeanor, which carries a fine of $500 for each incident. This legislative measure aims to regulate the use of gene-based vaccines in Minnesota, reflecting a significant shift in public health policy regarding vaccination practices.
