Chair Bruce Scogg asks introduction of juvenile corrections records exemption bill
Summary
Chair Bruce Scogg presented RS32831, a bill to add public-record exemptions for safety and security within the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections; Representative Mathias moved introduction and the motion carried.
Chair Bruce Scogg described RS32831 as legislation that would amend Idaho code to add public-record exemptions for safety and security purposes for the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections. Scogg said the changes focus on records related to the intra-movement of children and emphasized the department's need for confidentiality in particular operational areas. "Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections is very tight on keeping things confidential, but this has to do with intra movement of children," Scogg said.
Scogg told the committee Director Ashley Dowell would provide further explanation should the RS be introduced for hearing. Representative Mathias moved to introduce the RS (recorded in the text as RS 32800And31); members voted in favor on the motion and the chair announced the motion carried. The transcript contains no detailed roll-call tally for this introduction.
The committee took the introduction step and will await a presentation from director-level staff if the sponsor advances the RS to a formal hearing.
