Local enforcement of federal vaccine passports prohibited, and civil cause of action created.
HF 2815 prohibits Minnesota local governments (cities, counties, and their agencies) from enforcing any federal vaccine requirements, such as vaccine passports or credentials. It directly affects local authorities who might attempt to require proof of vaccination for public access or services. The bill creates a legal path for individuals harmed by such enforcement to sue for damages and recover attorney fees. This law prevents local entities from implementing federal vaccination mandates without state approval.
