Idaho H0874 establishes new protections for youth service organizations, including training and background check requirements for workers.

Idaho H0874 adds provisions to existing law to enhance protections for youth service organizations. It mandates that youth workers complete training in sexual abuse identification and reporting every 24 months. Youth service organizations must implement child abuse prevention policies and conduct registered sex offender checks for all potential workers. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in negligence claims in cases of abuse. The bill also allows insurers to request compliance information and requires organizations to demonstrate compliance as a condition for insurance.
