STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30194 / S1105
This bill corrects a language error that relates to the application and rulemaking authority for the chapter of
Idaho Code that relates to sex offender registration. The changes make it clear that the provisions of this chapter
of code cover both persons convicted of the listed sexual crimes and those convicted of the crime of infamous
crime against nature. The infamous crime against nature was removed from Code in the 2022 legislative session
after it was deemed to be unconstitutional. This change would ensure that no one is removed from the registry,
which was the intent of the original legislation.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this legislation as the bill only changes two words in Idaho Code.
