“After years of legislative attempts led by Idaho Democrats, a bill to expand contraception access in Idaho has been signed into law. On Monday morning, Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed Senate Bill 1234, a bill that would require insurance companies to provide up to a six-month supply of prescribed contraceptives to enrollees.

“The 2024 legislative session marks the fifth time this type of legislation has made its way through the Capitol. Efforts to extend contraceptives coverage began with former Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb, D-Boise, in 2018, and those efforts continued under her successor, Sen. Melissa Wintrow, D-Boise.”
