Bill > SB36

This bill enacts new provisions in Louisiana law regarding vaccines, specifically prohibiting the use of food as a delivery method for mRNA vaccines and establishing detailed informed consent requirements for all vaccinations. Before a healthcare provider can administer a vaccine, they must provide the patient with the federal Vaccine Information Statement and a new state-required written consent form created by the surgeon general. This state form must detail the specific vaccine, the diseases it prevents, the technology used to develop it, and both the short-term and long-term risks and benefits. Furthermore, the bill outlines specific circumstances under which a person is deemed incapable of providing informed consent, including within 48 hours before or after anesthesia, within 12 hours of childbirth, or within 24 hours of receiving narcotic medication. These new consent requirements are in addition to existing medical treatment consent laws.
