Amends existing law to revise provisions for underinsured motor vehicle coverage.
This bill provides that if injured drivers have purchased supplementary or "backup" automobile insurance (underinsurance) for accident-related claims, their own insurance company cannot do any offsets from the face amount of the policy after the accident. This bill requires that all insurance companies sell only "full-value" underinsured motorist coverage, without "offsets" or reductions by the amount that an at-fault driver's insurance pays. Most insurance contracts require such reductions. At present in Idaho, only State Farm sells this "full-value" insurance. This bill will correct this inequity, guaranteeing that injured people have access to the full amount of the underinsured motorist coverage they purchased.

Amends existing law to establish additional provisions regarding staff allowance.
This legislation would allow school districts and public charter schools to receive salary-based apportionment based on adjusted mid-term support units, if full-term support units are at least 3% greater than mid-term support units. The adjustment is equal to 50% of the difference between full-term support units and mid-term support units. For example, salary-based apportionment for a school district or charter school with 100 mid-term units and 104 full-term support units would be based on 102 support units. Currently, all salary-based apportionment funds are based solely on mid-term support units. This would enable the minority of schools, which experience enrollment growth as the school year progresses, to receive additional funding for these students.
Amends and adds to existing law to grant psychologists the authority to prescribe certain medications.
This legislation would allow those psychologists who obtain a doctorate degree in psychology, a master's degree in psychopharmacology, achieve clinical experience and pass a nationally recognized exam, to have prescriptive authority in their field. This legislation mandates that a prescribing psychologist collaborate with the patient's primary care provider. This legislation also grants power to the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners to establish an advisory panel which will make recommendations to the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners.
