Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this bill is to prohibit the administration of gene-based vaccines in the state of Minnesota. It aims to restrict the use of specific types of vaccines developed using certain genetic technologies.

Main Provisions

• Prohibition on Gene-Based Vaccines: The bill explicitly bans the administration of vaccines developed using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology, modified mRNA technology, self-amplifying mRNA technology, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology.
• Licensing Review: If a person is found to administer such vaccines, the appropriate licensing board is required to review the person’s professional license and take necessary actions based on the violation.
• Penalties: Individuals violating this prohibition are classified as committing a misdemeanor and face a fine of $500 for each incidence of administering a banned vaccine.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The bill introduces a new statute that specifically addresses the prohibition and penalization associated with the administration of gene-based vaccines. This creates a legal framework for governing the use of certain genetic technologies in vaccines which previously may not have had explicit restrictions.
