Bill > SF717

This bill aims to prohibit government entities in Minnesota from enforcing vaccine mandates, drawing on the Tenth Amendment's protection of states' rights and individual liberties. Specifically, the legislation prevents any government body, its agents, or subdivisions from mandating vaccines, vaccine passports, or vaccine credentials through any legal mechanism, including federal acts, laws, executive orders, court orders, regulations, or ordinances. Additionally, the bill requires employers in Minnesota to accept proof of natural antibodies as an alternative to vaccination if they choose to mandate immunizations. The bill defines "employer" using existing state labor law terminology and would become effective immediately after its final enactment. By introducing these provisions, the bill seeks to protect individual choice in vaccination and limit governmental authority to impose vaccine requirements, particularly in response to public health emergencies or pandemic situations.
