Amends existing law to provide for substance use disorders service providers and substance use disorder assessments.
MOTOR VEHICLES -- Amends existing law to provide for substance use disorders service providers and substance use disorder assessments.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This is one of a series of bills the Supreme Court has recommended in its annual report to the Governor concerning defects or omissions in the laws, as required by article V, section 25 of the Idaho Constitution. Persons convicted of driving under the influence are currently required, by I.C. § 18-8005(11), to obtain an alcohol evaluation by an alcohol evaluation facility. The term "alcohol evaluation facility" is no longer relevant, and changing this term to "substance use disorders service provider" will align the statute with statewide practice and established standards. Similarly, "substance abuse" is now commonly referred to as a "substance use disorder," and this bill also recommends updating this terminology in I.C. § 18-8005(11).
