The proposed bill, known as the "mRNA Bioweapons Prohibition Act," aims to designate 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 under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 609, specifically outlining the legislative intent to classify these products as dangerous and defining what constitutes mRNA injections and products. This includes various forms of modified messenger RNA related to COVID-19, gene therapy products, and nanotechnology that alters genes.
Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for individuals who knowingly manufacture, acquire, or distribute mRNA injections and products, with potential sentencing aligned with existing laws. It mandates that state and local government officials enforce these provisions and imposes penalties for non-compliance. Furthermore, it allows residents to seek legal recourse against 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.
