(5) Continuing education. A licensee shall not submit an application to renew a license on active status or to activate an inactive license without having obtained the continuing education credit hours required by section 54-2023, Idaho Code. A licensee who violates this subsection shall be subject to disciplinary action by the commission.

(6) Time required. The commission may request satisfactory proof of continuing education compliance from any licensee who has certified to the commission that he has completed the requirement. The request shall state the time within which the proof must be received at the commission office, which time shall not be less than ten (10) business days.

(7) Satisfactory proof. Upon request from the commission, the licensee shall submit satisfactory proof of having met the continuing education requirement set forth in section 54-2023, Idaho Code. "Satisfactory proof" shall, for each course, consist of documentation:

(8) Failure to submit proof. A licensee failing to submit satisfactory proof of completing the continuing education requirement after being requested to do so by the commission may have his license inactivated by the commission and shall not be entitled to reactivate the license unless and until he provides to the commission satisfactory proof that he meets the continuing education requirements of section 54-2023, Idaho Code. Nothing in this section shall limit the ability of the commission to investigate or discipline a licensee for violating subsection (5) of this section or for violating any other section of this chapter.

(9) Change in personal information. An individual licensee, whether active or inactive, shall provide written notice to the commission, in the form and manner approved by the commission, of any change of his personal name, address of personal residence or personal telephone number. Notice shall be provided within ten (10) business days of the change. If the licensee has changed his personal name, he shall also submit legal proof of the change and, if an active licensee, he shall have the broker submit the written notice of change to the commission.

(10) Issuance of the license and effective date. A real estate license shall be deemed issued, and any requested license changes shall become effective, when the completed application, attachments, and any required fees are received at and approved by the commission. An application that is incomplete or lacking the required fees shall be returned to the applicant and no license shall be issued until a completed application and all required fees are received at and actually approved by the commission. A brokerage is not required to obtain, display or possess a physical license certificate as evidence of the individual's active licensure; however, the commission may make license certificates available for a fee as authorized by this chapter. A brokerage shall not display or otherwise make available to the public a license certificate for any individual who does not hold an active license with the brokerage.

Citizens with limited access to traditional health care settings may be diagnosed and treated sooner through virtual care than through in-person care, resulting in improved health outcomes due to early detection and prevention.

(2) The exercise of the right of conscience is limited to conscience-based objections to a particular medical procedure, treatment, or service. This section may not be construed to waive or modify any duty a health care provider may have to provide or pay for medical procedures, treatments, or services that do not violate the provider's conscience.

(3) A health care professional shall communicate to the health care professional's employer a conscience-based objection when it occurs or as soon as reasonably possible to allow an employer to make necessary staffing adjustments without delaying the provision of health care services. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent an employer from requiring an employee to disclose the employee's conscience-based objections at the time of hiring, but such disclosure shall not limit the rights protected by this chapter.

(4) Conscience-based objections shall be provided in writing by an employee if requested by the employer.

(5) A health care payer shall not decline payment for a medical procedure, treatment, or service that it is contractually obligated to pay for under the terms of its contract with an insured party.

(7) No health care provider shall be civilly, criminally, or administratively liable for exercising the right of conscience described in subsection (1) of this section, and no health care institution shall be civilly, criminally, or administratively liable for the exercise of the right of conscience described in subsection (1) of this section by a health care professional employed, contracted, or granted admitting privileges by the health care institution.

(8) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to impede the right of a religious health care provider to make employment, staffing, contracting, administrative, and admitting privilege decisions consistent with such health care provider's religious beliefs if such health care provider holds itself out to the public as religious and has internal operating policies or procedures that implement its religious purpose or mission.

(9) To the extent that this chapter provides broader rights of conscience than that provided by section 18-611, Idaho Code, this chapter controls over section 18-611, Idaho Code. To the extent that this chapter is not enforceable with respect to any rights of conscience protected by section 18-611, Idaho Code, then section 18-611, Idaho Code, shall control.

(10) Nothing in this chapter shall affect the rights of conscience provided for in section 18-612, Idaho Code, to the extent that those rights are broader in scope than those provided for in this chapter.

(11) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to override the requirement to provide emergency medical treatment to all patients as set forth in 42 U.S.C. 1395dd.

(12) The protections in this chapter shall not apply if an employee is unable to perform any essential function, the employer cannot transfer the employee to a suitable alternative position for which the employee is qualified, and the employer is otherwise unable to reasonably accommodate the employee without imposing an undue hardship on the employer.

(13) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as providing a health care provider with civil immunity for the failure to comply with the applicable community standard of care as described in section 6-1012, Idaho Code.
