Amends existing law to provide that a court shall consider certain methods when deciding whether to authorize medical or surgical care for a child.
This legislation amends Section 16-1627, Idaho Code to provide for the consideration of alternative health care methods given a child by a parent or guardian when the court makes an authorization for emergency medical treatment.
Amends existing law to revise the definition of “protective order.”
This is one of the bills that the Supreme Court has recommended in its annual report to the Governor concerning defects or omissions in the law as required under article V, section 25 of the Idaho Constitution. At the 2016 Legislative Session the Legislature enacted SB 1328aa, which amended several statutes in the ChildProtectiveAct. Asaconsequence,thedefinitionofprotectiveorderinI.C.§16-1602(34)nowcontains an outdated statutory reference, and also fails to note all of the circumstances in which a protective order may be issued. This bill would correct those errors.
