Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of the bill is to classify mRNA injections and related products as weapons of mass destruction and to prohibit their possession or distribution within the state of Minnesota.

Main Provisions

• The bill aims to establish a new law under Minnesota Statutes chapter 609, specifically designating mRNA injections and products as bioweapons.
• It defines "mRNA injections and products" to include:
  1. COVID-19 related mRNA modifications.
  2. Any injections or products containing mRNA or modified messenger RNA.
  3. Any human gene therapy products for infectious diseases.
  4. Technologies involving nanotechnology or nanoparticles that alter genes to create biosynthetic cell replication.
• Naturally occurring mRNA is exempt from this classification.
• It introduces penalties for individuals who manufacture, acquire, or distribute these products.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• This bill introduces a new legal category for mRNA products, labeling them as bioweapons and criminalizing their manufacture, acquisition, or distribution.
• State and local government officials are required to enforce this prohibition and may face penalties if they fail to act on reasonable evidence of a violation.
• Minnesota residents are given the right to file civil actions if enforcement is lacking, including seeking monetary damages from the state or officials.
