Bill > H0514

This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to establish provisions regarding the prohibition of mask mandates. Specifically, it prohibits the state or any political subdivision (such as a county, city, or school district) from mandating the use of face masks, face shields, or other face coverings to prevent the spread of contagious or infectious diseases. It also prohibits officials from imposing such requirements and states that any recommendation to use face coverings must include a notice that it is not mandatory. The bill further provides that a violation of these provisions will result in the termination of any existing disaster emergency or public health order. The bill includes definitions of key terms such as "official" and "political subdivision."
