Idaho lawmakers to re-consider vaccine injury bill
Reprints
Following a failed measure introduced in the last legislative season, Idaho lawmakers are again considering a bill that would make vaccine injuries compensable in workers compensation.
H.B. 464, introduced Wednesday, states that “when an employer requires an employee to receive a vaccination in the course of employment or as a condition of hiring or continued employment, any accident or injury caused by such vaccination shall be compensable.”
The new bill follows H.B. 417, which passed the House 67-3 in November 2021 and was sent to the Senate, where it lingered in committee.
The measure would go into effect immediately if signed by the governor.
