This bill repeals Chapter 48 of Title 19 of the Idaho Code, which relates to the Criminal Justice Integrated Data System Act, and introduces a new Chapter 48 in Title 67, called the "Insight Integrated Data Systems Act." The new chapter establishes a centralized data repository managed by the state controller's office, aimed at integrating and sharing data among local governments, state agencies, and volunteer entities involved in criminal justice and behavioral health systems. It emphasizes the protection of sensitive personal information while facilitating data-driven decision-making and creates a Data Oversight Council to ensure compliance with privacy laws.

Additionally, the bill amends various sections of the Idaho Code to enhance the authority and procedures of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Board of Environmental Quality. Key changes include transferring environmental protection responsibilities from the Department of Health and Welfare to the Department of Environmental Quality, clarifying the Director's powers regarding environmental regulations, and establishing rules for board hearings and investigations. The bill also updates regulations concerning plumbing and HVAC installations, allowing certain exemptions and specifying the roles of boards and directors within the state's licensing framework. It includes provisions for public health and safety, tax exemptions related to pollution control, and the management of the criminal justice integrated data system, with an emergency clause making the act effective from July 1, 2025.
