Amends and adds to existing law to authorize the inter vivos nomination appointment of a guardian of a minor.
In 1991, the Idaho Legislature enacted the first Delegation of Powers by Parent or Guardian bill, primarily to aid deploying families in Desert Storm. Over the years, the use of the Delegation has dramatically expanded, especially in situations where a parent hands over their child to another family member, often a grandparent, for a temporary time period. Sometimes this is because of things like deployment, temporary absence, change in school districts, and so forth. But sometimes it is because of substance abuse or other problems of the parent. This delegation is easy and quick and avoids have an expensive and protracted Guardianship proceeding in court. It does not preclude an interested person from bringing a formal proceeding, which can happen if the person receiving the delegation is not appropriate to care for the minor.

Obtaining those through a formal Guardianship proceeding is both expensive and time consuming and can delay the ability to care for the minor.
