AI Summary

This bill adds a new chapter to existing Idaho law, known as the "Required Immunization Liability Act." The key provisions are: 1) The bill defines "employer" as any person or entity employing an employee, excluding the federal government and employers required by the federal government to mandate employee immunizations. 2) The bill states that any employer requiring an employee to receive an immunization as a condition of employment, and denying the employee's requested exemption, shall be liable for any damages or injuries arising from the required immunization. 3) The bill allows employers to obtain insurance to cover liability from required immunizations.
