2 RELATING TO COORDINATED FAMILY SERVICES; AMENDING CHAPTER 14, TITLE 32, IDAHO
3 CODE, BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION 32-1407, IDAHO CODE, TO REQUIRE
4 CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECKS FOR FAMILY COURT SERVICES COORDINATORS PRIOR TO

6 RECORDS.
7 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
8 SECTION 1. That Chapter 14, Title 32, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
9 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
10 ignated as Section 32-1407, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
11 32-1407. FAMILY COURT SERVICES COORDINATORS -- RECORD CHECKS. Prior to
12 appointment, and at his or her own cost, a family court services coordinator
13 shall submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history check through any law
14 enforcement office in the state providing such a service. The criminal history
15 check shall include a statewide criminal identification bureau check, federal
16 bureau of investigation criminal history check, child abuse registry check,
17 adult protection registry check and statewide sex offender registry check. A
18 record of all background checks shall be maintained in the office of the
19 supreme court of the state of Idaho.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 16607
This bill would amend the chapter relating to
coordinated family services by providing that family court
services coordinators are required to submit to a thorough
background check, including a criminal history check and
checks of the sexual abuse registry, adult protection
registry and sexual offender registry. Currently, family
court services coordinators assist families in need in a
variety of cases coming before the courts. This bill will
insure that the persons involved in this sensitive task,
often involving contact with children, will be carefully
screened before being appointed.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill would have no impact on the general fund.
