Bill Summary
This bill relates to the administration of gene-based vaccines. The bill provides that a person shall not provide or administer a gene-based vaccine to another person in this state. A person who violates the bill is guilty of a simple misdemeanor and is subject to a fine of $500 per incident. The bill directs the appropriate licensing board within the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing to review the license of a person licensed under Code chapter 147 (health-related professions) who violates the bill. The bill defines gene-based vaccine as a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid technology, modified messenger ribonucleic acid technology, self-amplifying messenger ribonucleic acid technology, or deoxyribonucleic acid technology.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to prohibit the administration of gene-based vaccines in Iowa, defining these as vaccines developed using specific genetic technologies like messenger RNA (mRNA) or DNA technologies. Under the proposed law, any person who provides or administers such a vaccine would be committing a simple misdemeanor and would be fined $500 for each incident. Additionally, for healthcare professionals licensed under Chapter 147 of Iowa's professional licensing codes, violating this prohibition would trigger a mandatory review of their professional license by the appropriate licensing board within the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing. The bill effectively creates a new legal section (727.13) in Iowa's state code that would criminalize the use of gene-based vaccine technologies, which would include current COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and potentially future similar vaccine development approaches. By establishing clear penalties and licensing consequences, the bill aims to create a significant deterrent to the administration of these specific types of vaccines within the state.
