AI Summary

This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to require the Department of Health and Welfare to notify parents or other concerned persons of their rights when the department investigates potential child abuse, neglect, or abandonment. The key provisions include the right to refuse to answer questions, consult with an attorney, refuse entry to the home, and refuse questioning of minor children without a warrant or court order. The notification must be provided in writing within 72 hours of the department's first contact with the parents or concerned persons, and parents have standing to challenge violations of these notification requirements.
