Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin issued an executive order as acting governor on Tuesday widening a ban against so-called COVID-19 vaccine passports in the state.

The Republican took advantage of Gov. Brad Little’s absence and signed the order, which says that implementing proof of vaccination “violates Idahoans’ medical privacy” and “encourages prejudice and discrimination” but some entities within the state “are ignoring these problems and still attempting to implement” the passport systems.
