Idaho's Medical Freedom Act is now state law

The lead issue

Idaho enacted the Idaho Medical Freedom Act in 2025, and in 2026 it passed a Direct to Consumer Commerce Act, labeling rules for cell-cultivated meat, and wider authority for licensed midwives. Bills on medical mandates and a moratorium on certain gene therapy products did not pass.
