Enforcement prohibition of government vaccine mandates
SF 717 prohibits Minnesota government agencies from enforcing vaccine mandates, including requirements for vaccine passports or credentials. It requires employers who mandate vaccines to accept proof of natural antibodies (from prior infection) as an alternative to vaccination. The bill directly affects employers in Minnesota who require vaccines and government entities enforcing such requirements, effective upon final enactment. It does not ban all vaccine requirements but restricts government enforcement and mandates alternative proof for employers.
