This bill repeals Chapter 48 of Title 19 of the Idaho Code, which previously governed the Criminal Justice Integrated Data System Act, and introduces a new Chapter 48 in Title 67, named 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 nongovernmental 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 oversee the data system and approve project requests and reports.

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, granting the Director authority over environmental regulations, and allowing the Board to issue subpoenas and conduct hearings. The bill also updates provisions related to public health, taxation, and the disclosure of records, including the establishment of judicial review for health-related orders and the transfer of tax exemption authority for pollution control facilities to the Department of Environmental Quality. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline governance and clarify responsibilities among state agencies while ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
