Idaho

SUNucate

Current Status: Not Enacted

Current Law

Idaho has not enacted a SUNucate-specific school sunscreen access law. However, current law or state guidance includes sun-safe education (curriculum), which provides partial alignment with the SUNucate model.

Comparison to the SUNucate

Idaho has limited alignment with the SUNucate model because it addresses sun-safe education (curriculum), but it has not enacted comprehensive student sunscreen possession and use protections in schools.

Opportunities for Improvement

Adopt the full SUNucate model, including student possession and self-application of sunscreen; staff assistance with parental permission; youth camp protections; sun-protective clothing; hats and sunglasses; sun-safe education; and a sunscreen sales-tax exemption.

Medical Spa Safety Act

Current Law

Idaho does not have any state laws pertaining to medical spas. The Idaho Barber and Cosmetology Services Licensing Board states the "practice of esthetics" is limited to noninvasive skincare treatments and class II devices require physician supervision for estheticians.

Opportunities for Improvement

Since there are no laws in place, Idaho would benefit from enacting the Medical Spa Safety Act, which would explicitly regulate medical spas, prevent conflicting Board opinions, and reduce confusion for patients and practitioners.
