Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 08833

This legislation amends the Sexual Offender Registration Notificahon and Community
Right-to-Know Act which is found at chapter 83 of title 18, Idaho Code. This legislation
addresses a deficiency in current law concerning sex offenders who reside out-of-state but
are employed or going to school in the State of Idaho. Under present law, offenders who
reside out-of-state but work part- or full-time in the State of Idaho are not required to register
as sex offenders even though they may be spending a majority of their work week in Idaho.
Likewise, this legislation would require the registration of sex offenders who are students
and enrolled in Idaho educational institutions. The bill provides that registered sex offenders
employed or studying in Idaho would be required to register after spending 10 consecutive
working days in Idaho or an aggregate of more than 30 days in any one calendar year. In
addition, individuals who are employed or are volunteering to work with children must
register immediately upon coming into Idaho regardless of whether they are employed more
than 10 consecutive days.



                           FISCAL NOTE

While this bill could require the registration of some additional individuals, most of the cost
of registration would be paid by those individuals. The present system in place at the
Department of Law Enforcement would be able to handle the additional registrants without
any additional cost to the state general fund.
