Bill Summary
RELATING TO SEX OFFENDERS; AMENDING SECTION 18-8329, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE A DEFINITION AND TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS; AND DECLARING AN EMER- GENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise the definition of "daycare" for the purposes of restricting registered sex offenders' access to certain locations. Previously, a daycare was defined as a licensed daycare, but this bill expands that definition to include any daycare that is licensed, or is zoned, permitted, or approved by a city or county for use as a daycare. This change means that registered sex offenders will be prohibited from being on the premises of or loitering near a broader range of daycare facilities, as well as schools, when children under eighteen are present or scheduled to be present, and will also affect residency restrictions near these facilities. The bill also makes technical corrections to the language of the existing law and declares an emergency, making its provisions effective on July 1, 2026.
