S12392026 Regular Session
Amends existing law to revise the definition of “daycare.”
SEX OFFENDERS -- Amends existing law to revise the definition of “daycare.”
SEX OFFENDERS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation closes a gap in Idaho law by extending existing sex offender residency restrictions to daycares that are zoned, permitted, or approved by a city or county. Current law applies only to state-licensed daycares, even though some daycares operate legally without a license. This change ensures consistent protections for children without expanding licensing requirements or regulating home daycares.
