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.
