BOISE, Idaho — Idaho lawmakers have passed a bill prohibiting medical and vaccine mandates across the state. It now awaits Governor Little's signature to become law.
Senate Bill 1023, which passed the House on Tuesday, was originally written to ban COVID-19 vaccine requirements but was amended before passing the Senate to encompass all "medical mandates."
The bill would prevent local governments and businesses from requiring any proof of "medical intervention," which includes any "procedures, treatments, devices, drug injections, medications, or actions taken to diagnose, prevent, or cure a disease."
If signed by Gov. Little, the law will take effect on July 1.
