The proposed bill, known as the "mRNA Bioweapons Prohibition Act," aims to classify mRNA injections and products as weapons of mass destruction and to prohibit their possession and distribution within the state of Minnesota. The bill introduces new legal language to Minnesota Statutes, specifically in chapter 609, establishing definitions for mRNA injections and products, which include modified messenger RNA related to COVID-19 vaccines, gene therapy products, and nanotechnology that alters genes. It also outlines the responsibilities of state and local government officials to enforce this prohibition and specifies penalties for those who violate the law.

Additionally, the bill establishes that individuals who knowingly manufacture, acquire, or distribute mRNA injections and products may be charged with a crime, with penalties aligned with existing laws under section 609.712. It further allows residents to seek civil remedies, including injunctive and declaratory relief, against government officials for failure to enforce the law. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on August 1, 2025, applying to any violations occurring after that date.
