STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29070C1 / H0452
The purpose of this legislation is to expand protections regarding juvenile sight and sound separation and jail
removal, and to better define when a juvenile can legally be held in an adult jail or lockup. This update also
ensures the Idaho system aligns with national research and requirements under the reauthorized Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no impact on the state’s General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund because
this proposal provides for updated processes only. It does not introduce any new fiscal obligations on any part
of the juvenile justice system.
