Establishment of vaccine requirements prohibited, and exceptions provided.
This bill prohibits state agencies, local governments, and businesses in Minnesota from requiring individuals to receive vaccinations against communicable diseases or to provide proof of vaccination for entry, employment, or service provision. The law defines key terms such as communicable disease and political subdivision to clarify its scope and applies immediately upon enactment. However, it includes exceptions for existing vaccine requirements already established in specific state statutes and administrative rules related to healthcare and public health. The legislation prevents new mandates while preserving current vaccination policies that are already in place under separate legal authorities.
