Mask mandate ban heads to Idaho House
BOISE — A bill that would ban government entities from implementing mask mandates has been sent to the Idaho House.
Presented by Rep. Robert Beiswenger, R-Horseshoe Bend, HB 32 would prohibit the state or associated governments from requiring people to wear medical face masks, face shields or other face coverings for the purpose of preventing disease spread. Exemptions are provided for employment in roles where face masks are an “integral and compulsory safety component of required job duties,” such as health care and industrial professions.
