House Bill No. 3465 aims to amend the Agriculture Code by adding a new section that prohibits the administration of vaccines containing mRNA material to livestock and domestic fowl intended for human consumption. The bill defines "mRNA material" as a substance that introduces messenger ribonucleic acid corresponding to a viral protein. It mandates that the commission adopt rules to enforce this prohibition, ensuring that animals raised for human consumption are not vaccinated with these specific types of vaccines.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing time for the necessary rules and regulations to be established. This legislative action reflects growing concerns regarding the use of mRNA technology in animal vaccines and its implications for food safety and public health.
