Bill > H0540

This bill amends Idaho Code Section 74-105, which lists records exempt from public disclosure, to include specific records of the Department of Juvenile Corrections. The Public Records Act, which this bill modifies, generally requires government records to be accessible to the public. The changes propose to exempt records related to the observation and assessment process at the Department of Juvenile Corrections, similar to existing exemptions for presentence investigations for adults, and to clarify that records concerning the future transportation or movement of juveniles, like those for adult prisoners, are also exempt. This aims to protect the safety and security of juveniles and staff within the juvenile justice system.
