AI Summary

  • Renames the "Coronavirus Stop Act" to the "Idaho Medical Freedom Act" and expands prohibitions from coronavirus vaccinations specifically to all "medical interventions," defined as any procedure, treatment, device, drug injection, medication, or action to diagnose, prevent, or cure disease

  • Prohibits Idaho businesses from refusing services, admission, or transportation based on a person's medical intervention status, and bars employers from requiring medical interventions except where required by federal law or for travel to foreign jurisdictions requiring them for entry

  • Bars schools (public, private, parochial, K-12, and postsecondary) from mandating medical interventions for attendance, campus access, or employment, though school district board authority under Chapter 5, Title 33 is preserved

  • Prohibits state, county, and local governments from requiring medical interventions for receiving government benefits, services, licenses, building access, public transportation, or as a condition of employment (with exemptions for Medicare/Medicaid-funded entities and federal law requirements)

  • Exempts traditional industry-standard personal protective equipment requirements from the medical intervention prohibition, but explicitly excludes vaccines, mask requirements, or other interventions introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic; effective July 1, 2025
