AI Summary
This bill proposes to prohibit the administration of gene-based vaccines in Michigan by amending the Public Health Code. Specifically, the bill introduces a new definition for "gene-based vaccine," which includes vaccines developed using messenger RNA (mRNA), modified mRNA, self-amplifying mRNA, or DNA technologies. The bill explicitly states that a person or governmental entity is forbidden from ordering or administering such vaccines. The legislation also modifies the definition of "immunizing agent" to explicitly exclude gene-based vaccines. Additionally, the bill updates disciplinary provisions for health professionals to include failure to comply with the new prohibition on gene-based vaccines as a potential grounds for disciplinary action. By adding these provisions, the bill aims to restrict the use of mRNA and DNA-based vaccination technologies in the state, marking a significant change in how certain types of vaccines can be administered in Michigan.
