H.B. No. 3465 is a bill that seeks to amend the Agriculture Code of Texas by adding a new section, 161.0425, which specifically addresses the administration of vaccines containing mRNA material to certain animals. The bill defines "mRNA material" as a substance that introduces messenger ribonucleic acid corresponding to a viral protein. It mandates that the Texas commission adopt rules to prohibit the administration of such vaccines to livestock and domestic fowl that are intended for human consumption.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, if passed. This legislation reflects growing concerns regarding the use of mRNA vaccines in food animals and aims to ensure the safety of food products for human consumption.
