Effective July 1, 2011,
the Sexual Offender Classification Board
has been replaced by a new
Sexual Offender Management Board

This change was brought about by the enaction of SB1154a during Idaho's 2011 legislative session. The bill effected a number of changes to the state's Sexual Offender Registration Notification and Community Right-to-Know Act. An overview of the bill's background and key components is provided in an Idaho Criminal Justice Commission brief sheet.

In addition to maintaining responsibility for setting pre-sentence sexual offender evaluation standards and psychosexual evaluator certification, the new board will be charged with setting standards for sexual offender treatment, and certification of treatment providers and polygraphists who conduct polygraphs on sexual offenders. Standards set by the SOMB will apply to adult and juvenile sexual offenders.

Unless removed by judical action, offenders who were previously designated as Violent Sexual Predators by the Sexual Offender Classification Board will retain their designations. The SOMB will not conduct Violent Sexual Predator reviews.

Any displayed, physical, or unlawful solicitation for sexual conduct with a person
who is unwilling or unable to give legal consent is an act of sexual violence.
