Idaho Merit-Based Health Care Act establishes penalties for prohibited DEI conduct in health care employment and contracting.
The Merit-Based Health Care Act aims to ensure health care employment and contracting decisions funded by Medicaid are based on individual merit and qualifications. It prohibits the use of state Medicaid funds to support ideological or discriminatory employment practices. Prohibited DEI conduct includes consideration of DEI in hiring, promotion, compensation, discipline, termination, or contracting decisions, and race-based or sex-based preferences, targets, benchmarks, quotas, or equity goals.
