Idaho Sex Offender Registry – Idaho Sexual Offender Management Board

Proposed rule change.

The SOMB is proposing rulemaking changes to Rule 003 which incorporates documents by reference by updating effective dates and titles of referenced documents and eliminating redundant documents. Specifically, this proposed rulemaking updates the versions of the documents issued by the American Association of Police Polygraphists and the American Polygraph Association incorporated by reference in Rules 003.01 and 003.02, and amends the official names of these documents. This proposed rulemaking also updates Rule 003.03 and Rule 003.04 to reflect the October 2020 version date of the Idaho Sexual Offender Management Board Standards and Guidelines for Adult Sexual Offender Management Practices and the Idaho Sexual Offender Management Board Standards and Guidelines for Practitioners, Evaluations and Treatment of Juvenile Sexual Offenders. The SOMB is amending the Standards to allow all 40 hours of continuing education to be obtained through on-line education resources to give providers more options for fulfilling continuing education requirements. The current December 2019 version of these Standards only permit certified providers to obtain 10 of the required 40 hours of continuing education through on-line educational resources. These changes to the Standards are expected to be finalized at the SOMB’s October 2020 meeting. Finally, this proposed rulemaking deletes Rules 003.05 and 003.06 as the documents referenced in these rules are included in the Standards incorporated in Rules 003.03 and 003.04.

No More Sexual Violence

Idaho Sex Offender Registry

Sex offender registration in Idaho began on July 1, 1993. It also established a statutory duty for persons convicted of certain felony sex crimes to register with their local sheriff. In 1998, the Legislature repealed the original act and enacted the "Sexual Offenders Registration Notification and Community Right-to-Know Act" to strengthen program administration and to expand public access to central registry information. Also in 1998, they enacted the "Juvenile Sexual Offender Registration Notification and Community Right-to-Know Act." Under the previous law, only juveniles convicted as adults were subject to sex offender registration. Both the new registration laws became effective July 1, 1998. The adult law is codified as Title 18, Chapter 83, Idaho Code (sections 18-8301 through 18-8331) and the juvenile law is codified as Title 18, Chapter 84 Idaho Code (sections 18-8401 through 18-8414). SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION AND COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW ACT 18-8302.
