AI Summary
This bill, titled the Oklahoma DNA/RNA-Based Vaccine Safety and Sovereignty Act, aims to protect the state's population and resources by prohibiting the use, sale, and distribution of DNA/RNA-based vaccines, which are defined as products that use or modify genetic material (like mRNA or DNA) to trigger an immune response, including gene therapy products and genetically modified microorganisms. The act establishes significant civil and criminal penalties for violations, with fines of at least $50,000 per violation for unauthorized production, sale, or administration, and potential felony charges with fines up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to ten years for knowing and willful violations. The Attorney General is authorized to investigate and prosecute these violations, while individuals subjected to these vaccines in violation of the act can pursue private lawsuits for damages, and whistleblowers reporting violations may receive up to 30% of collected fines. This legislation is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
