Lawmakers in Idaho have voted to pass a new bill that bans mandates for “vaccines” or other “medical interventions” in the state.
It’ll now be up to Republican Gov. Brad Little to sign the legislation into state law.
House lawmakers passed Senate Bill 1023 to implement such a ban.
Under the bill, private businesses in Idaho would be prohibited from refusing to serve customers or hiring employees who make their own decisions regarding their personal health.
The law would also apply to public and private schools, as well as every government entity in the state.
Rep. Robert Beiswenger (R-Horseshoe Bend), one of the bill’s chief sponsors, said:
“When this bill is signed into law, Idaho will have the best health freedom laws in the country.”
The proposal significantly broadens an existing law banning Covid “vaccine” mandates to include any “medical treatment.”
Vaccination, medications and all other tactics used to treat communicable diseases fall under the definition of “medical treatment.”
The bill would prevent local governments and businesses from requiring any proof of “medical intervention,” which includes any “procedures, treatments, devices, drug injections, medications, or actions taken to diagnose, prevent, or cure a disease.”
The bill exempts businesses whose employees travel internationally
