Bill > SCR103

This Concurrent Resolution states the findings of the Idaho Legislature and declares that a general order of isolation, issued on December 30, 2020, by the Governor and the Director of the Department of Health and Welfare, is terminated. The resolution argues that this order, which restricted business activities, prohibited gatherings, and required physical distancing, exceeded the Director's statutory authority because these measures are not considered quarantine or isolation according to definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Legislature also found that the order was an administrative rule that was not properly promulgated under the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act and that it diminished personal accountability for health decisions and unfairly targeted businesses.
