Committee approves repeal of obsolete AG program in HB 690
Summary
Representative Clay Handy said House Bill 690 would remove an unused attorney-general program from the books; Jeff Nye, Criminal Division Chief, told the committee the 2014 sobriety/drug-monitoring program had never been implemented and the committee voted to send the repeal to the floor with a due-pass recommendation.
Representative Clay Handy described House Bill 690 as a cleanup measure to repeal an obsolete statutory program in the Attorney General’s Office that "was never implemented or never used." He said the bill simply removes an unused entry from the statutes.
Jeff Nye, who identified himself as the Criminal Division Chief in the Idaho Office of the Attorney General, told the committee he found only draft documents for the 2014 24/7 sobriety and drug monitoring program and that counties and prosecutors had not implemented it. "It was supposed to be run out of the attorney general's office and counties could voluntarily choose to participate... it just simply never was," Nye said. Representative Alfieri moved to send the bill to the floor with an "enthusiastic do pass" recommendation and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
The record shows no registered opposition and no amendments were proposed during the committee hearing; the AG's office characterized the bill as a harmless statutory cleanup rather than a policy change that would require implementation work.
