  6    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  7        SECTION 1.  That Section 18-8314, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is  hereby
  8    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
  9        18-8314.  POWERS  AND  DUTIES OF THE SEXUAL OFFENDER CLASSIFICATION BOARD.
 10    (1) The board shall consider for review offenders scheduled for  release  from
 11    incarceration  who are referred by the department of correction or parole com-
 12    mission to determine whether the offender should be designated  as  a  violent
 13    sexual  predator presenting a high risk of reoffense.  Only offenders who were
 14    sentenced and convicted for one (1) or more of the crimes set  forth  in  sec-
 15    tions  18-1506,  18-1506A, 18-1507, 18-1508, 18-4003(d), 18-4502, 18-6101 (but
 16    excluding subsection 1. of such section when the  offender  is  eighteen  (18)
 17    years  of  age or younger), 18-6108, 18-6602, 18-6605 and 18-6608, Idaho Code,
 18    or any violation of the duty to register as provided in this chapter,  or  are
 19    recidivists as defined in this chapter, are eligible for review by the board.
 20        (2)  The  board shall consider for review offenders who were sentenced and
 21    convicted for one (1) or more crimes enumerated in subsection (1) of this sec-
 22    tion, who have been released under supervision, for the purpose of determining
 23    whether the offender should be designated as a violent  sexual  predator  pre-
 24    senting a high risk of reoffense. Such review shall be undertaken upon request
 25    of the district court having jurisdiction over the offender on probation or of
 26    the  parole  commission if the offender has been released on parole regardless
 27    of whether the offender has been reviewed by the board prior to  release  from
 28    incarceration. For purposes of seeking a board review pursuant to this subsec-
 29    tion,  the  court  or  parole  commission  may  consider all relevant evidence
 30    including, but not limited to, the probation or parole official's observations
 31    and opinions of these offenders while under supervision, in light of the  cir-
 32    cumstances of the underlying offense.
 33        (3)  The  board  shall  consider  for review offenders living in Idaho who
 34    were sentenced and convicted for one (1) or more crimes enumerated in  subsec-
 35    tion  (1)  of this section, or substantially equivalent to those enumerated in
 36    subsection (1) of this section and committed in another state, territory, com-
 37    monwealth or other jurisdiction of the United States, including tribal  courts
 38    and  military courts, and who have been released under federal or tribal court
 39    supervision. Such review shall be for the purpose of determining  whether  the
 40    offender  should  be designated as a violent sexual predator presenting a high
 41    risk of reoffense, and shall be undertaken upon  request  of  the  federal  or
 42    tribal court having jurisdiction over the offender.  For purposes of seeking a
 43    board review pursuant to this subsection, the federal or tribal court may con-

  1    sider  all  relevant  evidence  including,  but  not limited to, the probation
  2    official's observations and opinions of these offenders while  under  supervi-
  3    sion, in light of the circumstances of the underlying offense.
  4        (4)  The board shall by rule:
  5        (a)  Establish  standards  for psychosexual evaluations and the qualifica-
  6        tions for certified evaluators performing evaluations pursuant to sections
  7        18-8316 and 18-8317, Idaho Code.
  8        (b)  Set forth procedures for  the  approval,  certification  and  quality
  9        assurance of evaluators pursuant to this section.
 10        (c)  Establish a nonrefundable initial certification processing fee not to
 11        exceed  one hundred fifty dollars ($150) and a nonrefundable annual recer-
 12        tification processing fee not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150).
 13        (5)  The board shall establish guidelines to determine whether an offender
 14    who meets the criteria of this section is a violent sexual predator presenting
 15    a high risk of reoffense. The guidelines shall be established with the  assis-
 16    tance of sexual offender treatment and law enforcement professionals who have,
 17    by  education,  experience or training, expertise in the assessment and treat-
 18    ment of sexual offenders.
 19        (a)  Factors to be used in establishment of the guidelines  must  be  sup-
 20        ported  in  the  sexual  offender  assessment field as criteria reasonably
 21        related to the risk of reoffense and be objective  criteria  that  can  be
 22        gathered in a consistent and reliable manner.
 23        (b)  The  guidelines  shall include, but are not limited to, the following
 24        general categories  for  risk  assessment:  seriousness  of  the  offense,
 25        offense history, whether the offense was predatory, characteristics of the
 26        offender,  characteristics of the victim, the relationship of the offender
 27        to the victim, the number of victims and the number of violations of  each
 28        victim.
 29        (6)  If  the  offender  has indicated an intention to reoffend if released
 30    into the community and the available record reveals credible evidence to  sup-
 31    port this finding, then the offender shall be deemed a violent sexual predator
 32    regardless of application of the guidelines.
 33        (7)  Once the board has made its determination, it shall set forth written
 34    findings which shall include:
 35        (a)  The  board's  risk  assessment  and  the  reasons upon which the risk
 36        assessment was based; and
 37        (b)  The board's determination whether the offender should  be  designated
 38        as  a violent sexual predator and the reasons upon which the determination
 39        was based.
 40        (8)  The board shall have authority to promulgate rules to carry  out  the
 41    provisions of this chapter.
                                                                        
 42        SECTION  2.  An  emergency  existing  therefor,  which emergency is hereby
 43    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
 44    passage and approval.

 12    mission to determine whether the offender should be designated  as  a  violent
 13    sexual  predator presenting a high risk of reoffense.  Only offenders who were
 14    sentenced and convicted for one (1) or more of the crimes set  forth  in  sec-
 15    tions  18-1506,  18-1506A, 18-1507, 18-1508, 18-4003(d), 18-4502, 18-6101 (but
 16    excluding subsection 1. of such section when the  offender  is  eighteen  (18)
 17    years  of  age or younger), 18-6108, 18-6602, 18-6605 and 18-6608, Idaho Code,
 18    or any violation of the duty to register as provided in this chapter,  or  are
 19    recidivists as defined in this chapter, are eligible for review by the board.
 20        (2)  The  board shall consider for review offenders who were sentenced and
 21    convicted for one (1) or more crimes enumerated in subsection (1) of this sec-
 22    tion, or any violation of the duty to register as provided in this chapter, or
 23    offenders who are recidivists as  defined  in  this  chapter,  who  have  been
 24    released  under  supervision,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  whether the
 25    offender should be designated as a violent sexual predator presenting  a  high
 26    risk  of  reoffense.  Such review shall be undertaken upon request of the dis-
 27    trict court having jurisdiction over the  offender  on  probation  or  of  the
 28    parole  commission  if  the offender has been released on parole regardless of
 29    whether the offender has been reviewed by the  board  prior  to  release  from
 30    incarceration. For purposes of seeking a board review pursuant to this subsec-
 31    tion,  the  court  or  parole  commission  may  consider all relevant evidence
 32    including, but not limited to, the probation or parole official's observations
 33    and opinions of these offenders while under supervision, in light of the  cir-
 34    cumstances of the underlying offense.
 35        (3)  The  board  shall  consider  for review offenders living in Idaho who
 36    were sentenced and convicted for one (1) or more crimes enumerated in  subsec-
 37    tion  (1)  of this section, or substantially equivalent to those enumerated in
 38    subsection (1) of this section and committed in another state, territory, com-
 39    monwealth or other jurisdiction of the United States, including tribal  courts
 40    and  military courts, and who have been released under federal or tribal court
 41    supervision. Such review shall be for the purpose of determining  whether  the
 42    offender  should  be designated as a violent sexual predator presenting a high

  1    risk of reoffense, and shall be undertaken upon  request  of  the  federal  or
  2    tribal court having jurisdiction over the offender.  For purposes of seeking a
  3    board review pursuant to this subsection, the federal or tribal court may con-
  4    sider  all  relevant  evidence  including,  but  not limited to, the probation
  5    official's observations and opinions of these offenders while  under  supervi-
  6    sion, in light of the circumstances of the underlying offense.
  7        (4)  The board shall by rule:
  8        (a)  Establish  standards  for psychosexual evaluations and the qualifica-
  9        tions for certified evaluators performing evaluations pursuant to sections
 10        18-8316 and 18-8317, Idaho Code.
 11        (b)  Set forth procedures for  the  approval,  certification  and  quality
 12        assurance of evaluators pursuant to this section.
 13        (c)  Establish a nonrefundable initial certification processing fee not to
 14        exceed  one hundred fifty dollars ($150) and a nonrefundable annual recer-
 15        tification processing fee not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150).
 16        (5)  The board shall establish guidelines to determine whether an offender
 17    who meets the criteria of this section is a violent sexual predator presenting
 18    a high risk of reoffense. The guidelines shall be established with the  assis-
 19    tance of sexual offender treatment and law enforcement professionals who have,
 20    by  education,  experience or training, expertise in the assessment and treat-
 21    ment of sexual offenders.
 22        (a)  Factors to be used in establishment of the guidelines  must  be  sup-
 23        ported  in  the  sexual  offender  assessment field as criteria reasonably
 24        related to the risk of reoffense and be objective  criteria  that  can  be
 25        gathered in a consistent and reliable manner.
 26        (b)  The  guidelines  shall include, but are not limited to, the following
 27        general categories  for  risk  assessment:  seriousness  of  the  offense,
 28        offense history, whether the offense was predatory, characteristics of the
 29        offender,  characteristics of the victim, the relationship of the offender
 30        to the victim, the number of victims and the number of violations of  each
 31        victim.
 32        (6)  If  the  offender  has indicated an intention to reoffend if released
 33    into the community and the available record reveals credible evidence to  sup-
 34    port this finding, then the offender shall be deemed a violent sexual predator
 35    regardless of application of the guidelines.
 36        (7)  Once the board has made its determination, it shall set forth written
 37    findings which shall include:
 38        (a)  The  board's  risk  assessment  and  the  reasons upon which the risk
 39        assessment was based; and
 40        (b)  The board's determination whether the offender should  be  designated
 41        as  a violent sexual predator and the reasons upon which the determination
 42        was based.
 43        (8)  The board shall have authority to promulgate rules to carry  out  the
 44    provisions of this chapter.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                          RS 15687

In 1998, Idaho enacted the Sexual Offender Registration 
Notification and Community Right-To-Know Act, in response to the 
federal Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually 
Violent Offender Registration Act/Megan’s Law. This bill expands 
the list of crimes for which an offender may be reviewed for 
violent sexual predator designation.  

The commercial production of sexually exploitative materials 
involving children may involve many of the same criminal acts 
that are currently subject to review for sexual predator 
designation.  However, this offense was not included in the list 
of “reviewable” offenses.  An offender who produces such 
materials may be considered as predatory, and therefore should 
be eligible for sexual predator designation review.

An offender’s failure to comply with the sexual offender 
registration requirements presents a risk to community safety, 
and demonstrates a willful disregard for the laws of this state.  
Including this crime in Section 18-8314, Idaho Code, will enable 
the Sexual Offender Classification Board to review dangerous 
offenders who have been convicted of sexual offenses in 
jurisdictions other than Idaho, who reside in this state and 
evade lawful registration.


                           FISCAL NOTE

No measurable impact on state or local funds is anticipated from 
these changes.
