The bill amends the Idaho Medical Freedom Act by changing the title of Chapter 5, Title 73, Idaho Code, from the "Coronavirus Stop Act" to the "Idaho Medical Freedom Act." It revises the short title in Section 73-501 to reflect this change. Additionally, the bill updates Section 73-502 by removing definitions related to "coronavirus" and "coronavirus vaccination," while introducing new definitions for terms such as "medical intervention" and "school."
Furthermore, the bill modifies Section 73-503 to prohibit business entities and schools from mandating medical interventions, including vaccinations, as a condition for services, employment, or school attendance, with certain exceptions for federal law and specific circumstances involving foreign jurisdictions. It also establishes that no government entity can require medical interventions for access to public services or benefits. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
