Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to provide for the rejection of certain applicants due to certain criminal histories.

This legislation will allow the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council the ability to certify individuals previously convicted of certain felonies. Currently anyone ever convicted of any felony shall not be certified by POST. This legislation will allow the POST Council to review and make decisions on certification on individuals not convicted of felonies listed in Idaho Code § 18-310 (2). This will change it from “shall not be certified” to “may not be certified” for other felonies.
