 49    conjunction  with the court and other public and private agencies and persons,
 50    shall have the primary responsibility to implement the purpose of  this  chap-
 51    ter.  To  this  end, the department is empowered and shall have the duty to do
 52    all things reasonably necessary to carry out  the  purpose  of  this  chapter,
 53    including, but not limited to, the following:
                                                                        
                                           5
                                                                        
  1        (1)  The department shall administer treatment programs for the protection
  2    and  care  of  neglected,  abused  and abandoned children, and in so doing may
  3    place in foster care, shelter care, or other diagnostic,  treatment,  or  care
  4    centers or facilities, children of whom it has been given custody. The depart-
  5    ment  is  to be governed by the standards found in chapter 12, title 39, Idaho
  6    Code.
  7        (2)  On December 1, the department shall make an annual statistical report
  8    to the governor covering the preceding fiscal year showing the number and sta-
  9    tus of persons in its custody and including such other data  as  will  provide
 10    sufficient facts for sound planning in the conservation of children and youth.
 11    All  officials  and  employees of the state and of every county and city shall
 12    furnish the department upon request, such information within  their  knowledge
 13    and  control as the department deems necessary. Local agencies shall report in
 14    such uniform format as may be required by the department.
 15        (3)  The department shall be required to maintain a central  registry  for
 16    the  reporting  of  child neglect, abuse and abandonment information. Provided
 17    however, that the department shall not retain any information for this purpose
 18    relating to a child, or parent of a child, abandoned pursuant to  chapter  82,
 19    title 39, Idaho Code.
 20        (4)  The  department  shall make periodic evaluation of all persons in its
 21    custody or under its supervision for the purpose of determining whether exist-
 22    ing orders and dispositions in individual cases shall be modified or continued
 23    in force. Evaluations may be made as frequently as  the  department  considers
 24    desirable  and  shall  be  made  with respect to every person at intervals not
 25    exceeding six (6) months. Reports of evaluation made pursuant to this  section
 26    shall  be  filed  with  the  court which vested custody of the person with the
 27    department. Reports of evaluation shall be provided to persons having full  or
 28    partial  legal  or  physical  custody of a child. Failure of the department to
 29    evaluate a person or to reevaluate him within six (6)  months  of  a  previous
 30    examination  shall not of itself entitle the person to a change in disposition
 31    but shall entitle him, his parent, guardian or custodian  or  his  counsel  to
 32    petition the court pursuant to section 16-1622, Idaho Code.
 33        (5)  In  a consultive capacity, the department shall assist communities in
 34    the development of constructive programs for the  protection,  prevention  and
 35    care of children and youth.
 36        (6)  The  department shall keep written records of investigations, evalua-
 37    tions, prognoses and all orders concerning disposition or treatment  of  every
 38    person  over whom it has legal custody. Department records shall be subject to
 39    disclosure according to chapter 3,  title  9,  Idaho  Code,  unless  otherwise
 40    ordered  by the court, the person consents to the disclosure, or disclosure is
 41    necessary for the delivery of services to the person. Notwithstanding the pro-
 42    visions restricting disclosure or the exemptions from disclosure  provided  in
 43    chapter  3, title 9, Idaho Code, all records pertaining to investigations, the
 44    rehabilitation of youth, the protection  of  children,  evaluation,  treatment
 45    and/or disposition records pertaining to the statutory responsibilities of the
 46    department  shall be disclosed to any duly elected state official carrying out
 47    his official functions.
 48        (7)  The department shall establish appropriate administrative  procedures
 49    for  the  processing  of  complaints  of  child neglect, abuse and abandonment
 50    received and for the implementation of the protection, treatment and  care  of
 51    children  formally or informally placed in the custody of the department under
 52    this chapter including, but not limited to:
 53        (1a)  Department employees whose job duties are related to the child  pro-
 54        tective  services  system  under this chapter shall first be trained as to
 55        their obligations under this chapter regarding the protection of  children
                                                                        
                                           6
                                                                        
  1        whose  health  and  safety may be endangered. The curriculum shall include
  2        information regarding their legal duties, how to  conduct  their  work  in
  3        conformity  with  the  requirements of this chapter, information regarding
  4        applicable federal and state laws with regard to the rights of the  child,
  5        parent  and  others who may be under investigation under the child protec-
  6        tive services system,  and the applicable legal and constitutional parame-
  7        ters within which they are to conduct their work.
  8        (2b)  Department employees whose job duties are related to the child  pro-
  9        tective  services  system shall advise the individual of the complaints or
 10        allegations made against the individual at the time of  the  initial  con-
 11        tact, consistent with protecting the identity of the referrant.
 12        (8)  The  department having been granted legal custody of a child, subject
 13    to the judicial review provisions of this subsection, shall have the right  to
 14    determine  where  and  with whom the child shall live, provided that the child
 15    shall not be placed outside the state without the  court's  consent.  Provided
 16    however, that the court shall retain jurisdiction over the child, which juris-
 17    diction  shall  be  entered on any order or petition granting legal custody to
 18    the department, and the court shall have jurisdiction over all matters  relat-
 19    ing  to  the  child. The department shall not place the child in the home from
 20    which the court ordered the child removed without first obtaining the approval
 21    of the court.
 22        (9)  The department shall give to the court any information concerning the
 23    child that the court may at any time require, but in any  event  shall  report
 24    the  progress of the child under its custody at intervals of not to exceed six
 25    (6) months. The department shall file with the court at least  five  (5)  days
 26    prior  to the permanency hearing under section 16-1622, Idaho Code, the perma-
 27    nency plan and recommendations of the department. There shall be a  rebuttable
 28    presumption that if a child is placed in the custody of the department and was
 29    also  placed  in  out of the home care for a period not less than fifteen (15)
 30    out of the last twenty-two (22) months from the date the child entered shelter
 31    care, the department shall initiate a petition  for  termination  of  parental
 32    rights.  This  presumption  may be rebutted by a finding of the court that the
 33    filing of a petition for termination of parental rights would not  be  in  the
 34    best  interests  of  the child or reasonable efforts have not been provided to
 35    reunite the child with his family, or the child is placed permanently  with  a
 36    relative.
 37        (10)  The department shall establish appropriate administrative procedures
 38    for  the conduct of administrative reviews and hearings as required by federal
 39    statute for all children committed to the department and placed in out of  the
 40    home care.
 41        (11)  At  any  time  the department is considering a placement pursuant to
 42    this act, the department shall make a reasonable effort to place the child  in
 43    the  least  disruptive  environment to the child and in so doing may consider,
 44    without limitation, placement of the child with related persons.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 15434

The purpose of this bill is to make various codifier corrections to
the Idaho Code. In the course of a legislative session, multiple
amendments to a single code section, chapter or title are
frequently passed. Occasionally, these multiple amendments result
in conflicting numbering of sections or subsections. In addition,
in some instances, separate sections of the code contain citations
to sections or subsections which contain conflicting numbering due
to multiple amendments. Conflicting citation numbering is
identified at the time session laws for any given year are
incorporated into the existing code. Sections or subsections
containing conflicting numbering are redesignated by the codifier.
Redesignated code citations are set forth in brackets following
citations as set forth in session laws. The bracketed citation
remains in the code until the affected section undergoes a future
amendment and then, at that time, a correction to the citation
number is made. This method of indicating codifier corrections is
often confusing to the reader. Rather than waiting for future
amendments to the various affected sections, this bill compiles
those code sections affected in the legislative sessions prior to
2006 that contain conflicting numbering so that the designations
may be corrected.
