Bill > H0396

This bill adds a new section to Idaho law to establish provisions regarding the prohibition of mask mandates. Specifically, it prohibits the state, political subdivisions (such as counties, cities, and school districts), and officials from mandating the use of face masks, face shields, or other face coverings to prevent or slow the spread of contagious or infectious diseases. The bill also requires that any recommendations to use such face coverings must be accompanied by a notice that the recommendation is not mandatory. The bill defines key terms like "official" and "political subdivision" and declares an emergency, making the law effective immediately upon passage and approval.
