AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to prevent the enforcement of government-mandated vaccines and affirm individual rights by providing alternatives to vaccination requirements.

Main Provisions

  • The bill prohibits any government entity or its representatives from enforcing vaccine mandates, including requirements for vaccine passports, passes, or credentials within the state of Minnesota.
  • If a private employer in Minnesota decides to require vaccination for their employees, they must accept proof of natural antibodies as an alternative to vaccination.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • This bill introduces a new legal provision that restricts government authority at all levels from enforcing vaccine mandates.
  • It also provides a new option for showing immunity, allowing individuals to present proof of natural antibodies instead of getting vaccinated. This would shift current practices where vaccination is often the sole accepted method of proving immunity.

Relevant Terms

  • Vaccine mandates
  • Vaccine passports
  • Natural antibodies
  • Individual liberties
  • Immunization requirements
