The bill amends various sections of the Idaho Code to establish the "Idaho Medical Freedom Act," which prohibits medical mandates related to vaccinations and other medical interventions. The title of Chapter 5, Title 73 is changed from "Coronavirus Stop Act" to "Idaho Medical Freedom Act," and the short title in Section 73-501 is updated accordingly. The bill also revises definitions in Section 73-502, removing references to "coronavirus" and "coronavirus vaccination," while introducing new terms such as "medical intervention" and "school."

In Section 73-503, the bill explicitly prohibits business entities from refusing services or requiring medical interventions as a condition of employment, except in specific circumstances dictated by federal law. It also prevents ticket issuers from discriminating based on vaccination status and prohibits schools and government entities from mandating medical interventions for attendance or employment. Additional provisions ensure that no different compensation is offered based on vaccination status and that the enforcement of these provisions can be pursued by the attorney general or local prosecutors. The bill declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.
