Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to provide an exemption from disclosure for certain records regarding child abuse.

This legislation amends Section 74-124, Idaho Code, related to exemptions from public disclosure, specifically law enforcement records, by adding an additional exemption (g) which exempts disclosure of the identity of a reporting party for the crimes of child abuse, neglect or abandonment unless the reporting party consents to disclosure or the party's identity is required for any administrative or judicial proceeding.

Amends existing law to revise a definition, to provide that bonuses, severance packages, other compensation, or vouchered and unvouchered expenses for which reimbursement was paid to a public official are not exempt from disclosure, to provide that social security numbers and driver's license numbers shall be exempt from disclosure, and to provide that public agencies shall designate one person as custodian to receive public records requests and shall provide an alternate custodian or alternate custodians for contingencies.
