BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An attorney says Idaho should adopt a health policy making vaccine status a private medical record that employees could refuse to make available to employers as a way to thwart President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate. Attorney Christ Troupis told the Committee on Federalism on Wednesday that such a policy would insulate employers from potential federal penalties involving COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

The committee that deals with state sovereignty issues took no action, but plans to meet again Tuesday.
