SF 698 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Local enforcement of federal vaccine passports prohibition

SF 698 prohibits Minnesota local governments (cities, counties, and their agencies) from enforcing any federal vaccine passport, pass, or credential requirement. It prevents local officials from denying services or access based on vaccine status tied to federal mandates. The bill creates a legal right for individuals to sue if denied services for this reason, with courts allowed to award attorney fees to the winning party. This directly affects local government enforcement practices and individuals seeking services in Minnesota.
