H0954

Idaho H0954 establishes procedures for the Idaho Child Protection Central Registry, including requirements for listing individuals and protections.

Idaho H0954 amends existing law to establish provisions for the Idaho Child Protection Central Registry. It mandates that information about an alleged perpetrator of child abuse or neglect cannot be included in the registry without a criminal charge. A hearing must be held with notice to the alleged perpetrator, requiring clear and convincing evidence for inclusion. The department must provide a copy of the child welfare case to the central registry, and the alleged perpetrator must be notified within 45 days of a court's ruling substantiating allegations.
