This bill amends Chapter 23, Title 67 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 67-2362, which prohibits mask mandates within the state. Specifically, it states that neither the state nor any political subdivision can require individuals to wear medical face masks, face shields, or other face coverings to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Additionally, officials are barred from imposing such mandates, and the use of face coverings cannot be a condition for entry, education, employment, or other services. If recommendations for mask use are made, they must clearly indicate that compliance is not mandatory.

The bill also defines key terms such as "official," "political subdivision," and "state," while providing exemptions for specific vocational settings where face masks are necessary for job duties, such as healthcare and hazardous material handling. Furthermore, it clarifies that the use of face masks is permissible in facilities addressing behavioral risks, including mental health hospitals and correctional facilities. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
