Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the prohibited administration of a vaccine containing mRNA material to certain animals intended for human consumption.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to the Texas Agriculture Code that prohibits the administration of vaccines containing mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) material to livestock and domestic fowl that are intended for human consumption. The bill defines mRNA material as a substance that introduces messenger RNA corresponding to a viral protein, and requires the Texas agriculture commission to develop and implement rules to enforce this prohibition. The new regulation will take effect on September 1, 2025, giving the commission time to draft and implement the necessary rules. The bill appears to be motivated by concerns about the potential risks or impacts of mRNA vaccines in food animals, though the specific rationale is not detailed in the provided text.
