Legislative progress on the Faith-Healing Bill ceases for the current year in Idaho
In a recent development, Senator Lee Heider, a Republican from Twin Falls, has announced that he will not allow legislation seeking to modify Idaho's faith-healing exemption law to be introduced during this year's legislative session.

However, he has decided not to introduce any such legislation during this year's session.
