UPDATE: 5/20/2024 - SF 923 died, carryover from the 2023 session failed to move in the Senate before the 2024 session ended on 5/20/2024.
UPDATE: 5/22/2023 - HF 1896 failed to be scheduled for a hearing in the House Health Finance and Policy Committee and SF 923 failed to be scheduled for a hearing in the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Committee before the session adjourned on 5/22/2023. In MN, bills introduced in the first year of the regular session convening in odd-numbered years remain actionable throughout the second year of the regular session convening in even-numbered years. Legislative rules automatically relocate bills caught at certain points in the legislative process when the legislature adjourns for the long interim recess at the end of the first year of the regular session. Bills located in committee of either chamber at the time of adjournment are generally left undisturbed. Committee action on a bill is possible during the interim providing the committee has possession of the bill. However, this is rare because the action cannot be completed until the session reconvenes and the committee can report the bill.
HF 1896 was introduced and referred to the House Health Finance and Policy Committee on 2/16/2023. This bill is sponsored by Representative Walter Hudson.
SF 923 was introduced and referred to the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Committee on 1/30/2023. This bill is sponsored by Senator Eric Lucero.
These bills state that no government entity or its subdivisions, shall have the authority to enforce or attempt to enforce any mandatory vaccines, vaccine passports, vaccine passes, or vaccine credentials in this state, whether by federal act, law, executive order, administrative order, court order, rule, regulation, statute, or ordinance.
(b) If any employer conducting business in Minnesota or employing any Minnesota resident chooses to require vaccinations against any infection, the employer must allow
proof of presence of natural antibodies as an alternative to the vaccine.
Upon passage, this would add a new section to the 2022 Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144.
