The proposed bill amends Chapter 23, Title 67 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 67-2362, which explicitly prohibits mask mandates by the state or any political subdivisions. Under this new provision, neither the state nor any official can require individuals to wear medical face masks, face shields, or other face coverings to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Additionally, any recommendations for mask usage must clearly state that they are not mandatory. The bill also defines key terms such as "official," "political subdivision," and "state," while outlining exemptions for specific vocational settings where mask use is essential for job safety, such as healthcare and hazardous material environments.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the prohibition does not apply to the use of face masks in facilities where individuals are confined, such as mental health hospitals and correctional facilities. The legislation is declared to be an emergency measure, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval.
