UPDATE: 5/20/2024 - SF 2279 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 - SF 2279 failed to be scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety 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.
SF 2279 was introduced and referred to the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee on 3/1/2023. It was sponsored by Senator Eric Lucero.
SF 2279 would make it an unfair discriminatory practice to discriminate against an individual for the individual's vaccine status.
If the bill passes, its provisions become effective the day following final enactment.
