Legislation that would ban mRNA vaccinations statewide — including the Covid-19 vaccine — drew equal parts support and opposition during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Friday.
House Bill 371, sponsored by Rep. Greg Kmetz, R-Miles City, would prohibit administering gene-based vaccines to a human within the state. Violating the law would result in a $500 fine and a misdemeanor charge, as well as the potential revocation of a license.
Northwest Montana Reps. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, and Lukas Schubert, R-Kalispell, are cosponsors.
