Committee introduces RS31797 to allow fingerprinting for private entities serving vulnerable populations
Summary
A request sequence (RS31797) to amend section 67-3008 to permit fingerprinting services for private entities that serve vulnerable populations was introduced and approved by voice vote; Idaho State Police and the Attorney General's office reviewed the language and reported no fiscal impact to state funds.
The Judiciary and Rules Administration Committee introduced RS31797, a request sequence to amend statutory language to permit fingerprinting services for private entities that serve vulnerable populations.
Representative Pohanka introduced the draft language and said the amendment would "include fingerprint services for private entities that serve vulnerable populations" by editing section 67-3008. The presenter said the Idaho State Police (ISP) consulted with the deputy attorney general and the governor's office and that ISP confirmed the language matched the bill’s intent.
Committee discussion was brief. The presenter stated the fiscal note shows "no financial impact to any dedicated fund or federal fund" because the fingerprinting service costs would be borne by the private entities requesting the checks. Representative Hostelli moved to introduce RS31797 and the committee approved the request by voice vote; the record shows the motion carried.
The RS will proceed through the legislature as an introduced request sequence for potential bill drafting.
