Committee backs bill to codify Idaho State Police fingerprint services for vulnerable populations
Summary
House Bill 19 would place in statute the Idaho State Police practice of providing fingerprint services to qualified organizations that serve children, the elderly and people with disabilities. The Senate committee sent the bill to the floor with a do-pass recommendation by voice vote.
The Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee voted to send House Bill 19 to the Senate floor with a do-pass recommendation. The bill, introduced to the committee by Senator Kaiser on behalf of Representative Pahanka and Lieutenant Colonel Russ Wheatley of the Idaho State Police, codifies in statute the agency’s practice of providing fingerprinting services for qualified organizations that serve vulnerable populations.
Senator Kaiser said the Idaho State Police currently provide fingerprinting for a fee and the bill simply adds other qualified organizations serving children, seniors and individuals with disabilities to the list in statute. "This is just codifying that into statute," Kaiser told the committee.
No public testimony was recorded in the transcript opposing the bill. A motion to send HB 19 to the floor carried by voice vote after a motion by Senator Shippy and a second by Senator Wintrow.
If passed by the full Senate, the bill would move an existing administrative practice into statute, clarifying which organizations can receive fingerprinting services from the Idaho State Police.
