The bill amends Section 39-9203 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the Idaho Direct Primary Care Act, by revising the definition of "primary care provider." The updated definition now includes "physical therapy" as a recognized field in which a primary care provider may be licensed or authorized to offer services. This change expands the scope of professionals who can enter into direct primary care agreements, thereby enhancing the availability of primary care services to patients.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This expedited implementation underscores the urgency of the changes made to the definitions within the Idaho Direct Primary Care Act, aiming to improve access to healthcare services in the state.
