Bill > H0019

This bill amends Section 67-3008 of Idaho Code to expand the list of entities authorized to submit fingerprints to the Bureau of Criminal Identification. Specifically, the bill now allows private, noncriminal justice entities that qualify under the National Child Protection Act of 1993 and volunteers for children acts to submit fingerprints when serving vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. The bill makes several technical corrections to the language, including updating terminology and punctuation. It clarifies the process for requesting and disseminating criminal history records, maintaining existing restrictions such as requiring written requests, identifying specific individuals, and ensuring that record requests do not interfere with the department's operations. The bill also preserves existing protections, such as the requirement to display a disclaimer that an arrest without disposition is not an indication of guilt. The amendment will go into effect on July 1, 2025, and is being implemented with an emergency declaration to expedite its implementation.
