This bill amends Chapter 23, Title 67 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 67-2362, which prohibits mask mandates by the state or any political subdivision. Specifically, it states that 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, it clarifies that such mandates cannot be a condition for entry, education, employment, or other services. If recommendations for mask usage are made, they must be accompanied by a notice indicating 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 allows for the use of face masks in facilities where individuals are confined, such as mental health hospitals and correctional facilities. The bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
