Bill > HB0842

This bill amends Tennessee laws related to meat and livestock. It allows meat to be labeled as "mRNA free" if the animals were not administered an mRNA vaccine. The bill also removes the authorization for the state agriculture commissioner and veterinarian to order the vaccination of livestock, and clarifies that there is no state legal requirement to vaccinate livestock. The key provisions of the bill are aimed at providing consumers with information about the use of mRNA vaccines in livestock and limiting government authority to mandate livestock vaccinations.
