This bill amends Title 39 of the Idaho Code by adding a new Chapter 73, which explicitly states that the state of Idaho and its political subdivisions are not required to enforce any mandates or requirements issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). The legislation prohibits the use of WHO mandates as a basis for imposing any requirements, including those related to masks, vaccines, or medical testing, and asserts that such mandates will have no legal effect within the state.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to ensure that Idaho maintains autonomy over health-related mandates and protects the rights of its citizens against external health directives.
