The bill, H.B. No. 3737, introduces new provisions to the Texas Health and Safety Code that prohibit the prescription, delivery, administration, or use of COVID-19 vaccines containing mRNA material. Specifically, it adds Section 161.0086, which defines "COVID-19" as the 2019 novel coronavirus disease and "mRNA material" as a substance that introduces messenger ribonucleic acid corresponding to a viral protein. Under this section, individuals are explicitly barred from engaging in any activities related to such vaccines.

Additionally, the bill adds Section 431.0215, which further prohibits the advertisement and solicitation of patients for immunization with COVID-19 vaccines that contain mRNA material. This section reiterates the definitions provided in the previous section. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
