Bill > H0635

This bill amends existing Idaho law concerning investigations by the Professional Standards Commission, which is the body responsible for teacher certification and professional conduct. The key change is the addition of a provision stating that any complaint involving behavior that may be criminal must be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. This ensures that potential criminal activity by teachers is handled by the correct legal channels in addition to any disciplinary actions taken by the commission. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
