 32        SECTION 2.  That Section 9-335, Idaho Code, be, and  the  same  is  hereby
 33    amended to read as follows:

 34        9-335.  EXEMPTIONS FROM DISCLOSURE -- CONFIDENTIALITY. (1) Notwithstanding
 35    any  statute  or  rule  of  court to the contrary, nothing in this chapter nor
 36    chapter 10, title 59, Idaho Code, shall be construed to require disclosure  of
 37    investigatory  records compiled for law enforcement purposes by a law enforce-
 38    ment agency, but such exemption from disclosure applies  only  to  the  extent
 39    that the production of such records would:
 40        (a)  Interfere with enforcement proceedings;
 41        (b)  Deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudica-

                                       2

  1        tion;
  2        (c)  Constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
  3        (d)  Disclose  the identity of a confidential source and, in the case of a
  4        record compiled by a criminal law enforcement agency in the  course  of  a
  5        criminal  investigation,  confidential  information  furnished only by the
  6        confidential source;
  7        (e)  Disclose investigative techniques and procedures; or
  8        (f)  Endanger the life or physical safety of law enforcement personnel.
  9        (2)  Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, any  person  involved
 10    in  a  motor  vehicle  collision  which  is  investigated by a law enforcement
 11    agency, that person's authorized legal representative and  the  insurer  shall
 12    have  a  right to a complete, unaltered copy of the impact report, or its suc-
 13    cessors, and the final report prepared by the agency.
 14        (3)  An inactive investigatory record shall be disclosed unless  the  dis-
 15    closure  would violate the provisions of subsection (1)(a) through (f) of this
 16    section. Investigatory record as used herein means information with respect to
 17    an identifiable person or group of  persons  compiled  by  a  law  enforcement
 18    agency in the course of conducting an investigation of a specific act or omis-
 19    sion and shall not include the following information:
 20        (a)  The  time,  date,  location, and nature and description of a reported
 21        crime, accident or incident;
 22        (b)  The name, sex, age, and address  of  a  person  arrested,  except  as
 23        otherwise provided by law;
 24        (c)  The time, date, and location of the incident and of the arrest;
 25        (d)  The crime charged;
 26        (e)  Documents  given  or  required  by  law  to  be  given  to the person
 27        arrested;
 28        (f)  Informations and indictments except as otherwise provided by law; and
 29        (g)  Criminal history reports.
 30        As used herein, the term "law enforcement agency" means the office of  the
 31    attorney  general, the office of the state controller, the Idaho state police,
 32    the office of any prosecuting attorney, sheriff or  municipal  police  depart-
 33    ment.
 34        (34)  Whenever  it  is made to appear by verified petition to the district
 35    court of the county where the records or some part thereof are  situated  that
 36    certain  investigative  records are being improperly withheld from a member of
 37    the public, the court shall order the officer or person charged with withhold-
 38    ing the records to disclose the investigative record  or  show  cause  why  he
 39    should  not  do so. The court shall decide the case after examining the record
 40    in camera, papers filed by the parties, and such oral argument and  additional
 41    evidence as the court may allow.
 42        If  the  court finds that the public official's decision to refuse disclo-
 43    sure is not justified, he shall order the public officials to make the  record
 44    public.  If  the  judge  determines  that the public official was justified in
 45    refusing to make the record public, he shall return the  item  to  the  public
 46    official  without disclosing its content with an order supporting the decision
 47    refusing disclosure. Any person who fails to obey the order of the court shall
 48    be cited to show cause why he is not in contempt of court. The court  may,  in
 49    its discretion, award costs and fees to the prevailing party.

 50        SECTION  3.  That  Section  9-340D, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 51    amended to read as follows:

 41        In  applying these tables to any given separate attendance unit, no school
 42    district shall receive less total money than it would  receive  if  it  had  a
 43    lesser  average daily attendance in such separate attendance unit. In applying
 44    the kindergarten table to a kindergarten program of  less  days  than  a  full
 45    school  year,  the  support  unit allowance shall be in ratio to the number of
 46    days of a full school year. The tables for exceptional education and  alterna-
 47    tive  school  secondary  support  units  shall be applicable only for programs
 48    approved by the state department of education following rules  established  by
 49    the  state  board  of  education. Moneys generated from computation of support
 50    units for alternative schools shall be utilized for alternative   school  pro-
 51    grams.  School  district  administrative and facility costs may be included as

                                       10

  1    part of the alternative school expenditures.
  2        (5)  State Distribution Factor per Support Unit. Divide  educational  sup-
  3    port  program  distribution  funds, after subtracting the amounts necessary to
  4    pay the obligations specified in subsection (2) of this section, by the  total
  5    state support units to secure the state distribution factor per support unit.
  6        (6)  District  Support  Units. The number of support units for each school
  7    district in the state shall be determined as follows:
  8        (a)  (i)   Divide the actual average daily attendance, excluding  students
  9             approved  for inclusion in the exceptional child educational program,
 10             for the administrative schools and each of the separate  schools  and
 11             attendance  units  by the appropriate divisor from the tables of sup-
 12             port units in this section, then add  the  quotients  to  obtain  the
 13             district's support units allowance for regular students, kindergarten
 14             through  grade  12  including  alternative school secondary students.
 15             Calculations in application of this subsection shall be  carried  out
 16             to the nearest tenth.
 17             (ii)  Divide  the  combined totals of the average daily attendance of
 18             all preschool, handicapped, kindergarten, elementary,  secondary  and
 19             juvenile  detention  center  students  approved  for inclusion in the
 20             exceptional child program of the district by the appropriate  divisor
 21             from the table for computation of exceptional education support units
 22             to  obtain  the  number  of  support units allowed for the district's
 23             approved exceptional child program. Calculations for this  subsection
 24             shall be carried out to the nearest tenth when more than one (1) unit
 25             is allowed.
 26             (iii) The  total number of support units of the district shall be the
 27             sum of the total  support  units  for  regular  students,  subsection
 28             (6)(a)(i)  of  this  section, and the support units allowance for the
 29             approved exceptional child program,  subsection  (6)(a)(ii)  of  this
 30             section.
 31        (b)  Total District Allowance Educational Program. Multiply the district's
 32        total  number  of  support units, carried out to the nearest tenth, by the
 33        state distribution factor per support unit and to  this  product  add  the
 34        approved  amount of programs of the district provided in subsection (2) of
 35        this section to secure the district's total allowance for the  educational
 36        support program.
 37        (c)  District  Share.  The  district's share of state apportionment is the
 38        amount of the total district allowance, subsection (6)(b) of this section.
 39        (d)  Adjustment of District Share. The contract salary of every  noncerti-
 40        ficated  teacher  shall  be subtracted from the district's share as calcu-
 41        lated from the provisions of subsection (6)(c) of this section.
 42        (7)  Property Tax Computation Ratio. In order to receive state funds  pur-
 43    suant  to  this  section a charter district shall utilize a school maintenance
 44    and operation property tax computation ratio for the  purpose  of  calculating
 45    its maintenance and operation levy, that is no greater than that which it uti-
 46    lized in tax year 1994, less four-tenths of one percent (.4%). As used herein,
 47    the  term  "property  tax  computation ratio" shall mean a ratio determined by
 48    dividing the district's certified property tax maintenance and operation  bud-
 49    get  by  the  actual  or adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such
 50    values existed on December 31, l993. Such maintenance and operation levy shall
 51    be based on the property tax computation ratio multiplied  by  the  actual  or
 52    adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such values existed on Decem-
 53    ber 31 of the prior calendar year.

 19    working group shall provide recommendations to the department  of  agriculture
 20    in  order  for that department to establish criteria for evaluating intermodal
 21    projects of significance to the state, and the interagency working group shall
 22    continue to monitor projects for which it provides assistance to  the  depart-
 23    ment of . agriculture.

 25    department of agriculture in order for the department to develop criteria  for
 26    prioritizing freight rail and intermodal projects that meet the minimum eligi-
 27    bility  requirements  for state financial support from the revolving loan fund
 28    created in section 49-2904, Idaho Code. Project criteria should  consider  the
 29    level of local financial commitment to the project as well as the cost/benefit
 30    ratio.  Railroads,  shippers,  intermodal  commerce  authorities as defined in
 31    chapter 22, title 70, Idaho Code, and others  who  benefit  from  the  project
 32    should participate financially to the greatest extent practicable.

 34    for the department to ensure that the state maintains a contingent interest in
 35    any equipment, property, rail line, or facility that has outstanding grants or
 36    loans. The owner of a qualified line as  defined  in  section  49-2904,  Idaho
 37    Code,  shall  not use the line as collateral, remove track, bridges or associ-
 38    ated elements for salvage, or use it in any  other  manner  subordinating  the
 39    state's interest until any loan made to the owner pursuant to this chapter has
 40    been  repaid  in  full.  As  the state is not a primary lender of money, it is
 41    understood the state may need to take a subordinate position for  its  contin-
 42    gent interest.

 22    is reemployed with the same employer within ninety (90) days from retiring, or
 23    the early retired member is guaranteed reemployment with the same employer the
 24    member  shall be considered to have continued in the status of an employee and
 25    not to have separated from service. Any retirement allowance payments received
 26    by the retired member shall be repaid to the system and the  retirement  shall
 27    be negated. The month of last contribution prior to the negated retirement and
 28    the month of initial contribution upon return to reemployment shall be consid-
 29    ered  consecutive months of contributions in the determination of an appropri-
 30    ate salary base period upon subsequent retirement. A  retired  member  is  not
 31    considered  to have separated from service if he continues performing services
 32    for the same employer in any capacity including, but not limited to,  indepen-
 33    dent contractor, leased employee, or temporary services.
 34        (2)  Except  as provided in subsection (3) of this section, when a retired

 36    59-1302(14)(A)(a),  Idaho  Code,  any benefit payable on behalf of such member
 37    shall be suspended and any contributions payable by such member under sections
 38    59-1331 through 59-1334, Idaho Code, shall again commence. The suspended bene-
 39    fit, as adjusted pursuant to section 59-1355, Idaho Code, shall   resume  upon
 40    subsequent  retirement,  along with a separate allowance computed with respect
 41    to only that salary and service credited during the  period  of  reemployment.
 42    Any  death  benefit  that becomes payable under the suspended benefit shall be
 43    payable under section 59-1361(2), Idaho Code. Any death benefit  that  becomes
 44    payable  with respect to salary and service accrued during the period of reem-
 45    ployment shall be payable under section 59-1361(3), Idaho Code, if the  member
 46    dies during the period of reemployment.
 47        (3)  If  a  retired member, who is receiving a benefit that is not reduced
 48    under section 59-1346, Idaho Code, and who has been retired for more than  six
 49    (6)  months,  again  becomes  employed  as defined in this section and section
 50    59-1302(14)(A)(b), Idaho Code, as a result of being elected to a public office
 51    other than an office held prior to retirement, the retired member may elect to

                                       16

  1    continue receiving benefits and not accrue additional service, in which  event
  2    no contributions shall be made by the member or employer during such reemploy-
  3    ment and any benefit payable on behalf of such member shall continue.

  5    age  sixty-two (62) years and is receiving a benefit that is not reduced under
  6    section 59-1346, Idaho Code, again becomes an employee as defined in this sec-
  7    tion and section 59-1302(14), Idaho Code, as a result of returning to  employ-
  8    ment  with  a school district as provided in section 33-1004H, Idaho Code, the
  9    retired member may elect to continue receiving benefits and not  accrue  addi-
 10    tional  service,  in  which event no contributions shall be made by the member
 11    during such reemployment and any benefit payable  on  behalf  of  such  member
 12    shall  continue.  However, the school district shall pay the required employer
 13    contribution for that employee to the public employee retirement system. After
 14    June 30, 2012, this subsection (4) shall no longer be in force and effect  and
 15    the  other  provisions  of this section shall be applicable to all employment,
 16    including the employment of retirees who were employed under section 33-1004H,
 17    Idaho Code, before that date.
 18        (5)  It is the responsibility of each employer to  immediately  report  to
 19    the retirement board the employment of any retired member so that benefit pay-
 20    ments  can  be  suspended as provided in this section. If an employer fails to
 21    properly report the employment of a retired  member  and  it  results  in  the
 22    retirement  board making benefit payments that should have been suspended, the
 23    employer shall, in addition to paying delinquent employee and employer contri-
 24    butions from the date of eligibility, also be responsible for repaying to  the
 25    retirement  board  the benefit payments made to the retired member that should
 26    have been suspended, plus interest. The employer may then recoup such payments
 27    from the retired member.
 28        (56)  For purposes of this section, "same employer" means the employer for
 29    which the retired member last worked prior to retirement.

  9             resident; or

 32        reduce delay in the verification process or to provide for adjudication of
 33        unique  individual  circumstances  in which the verification procedures in
 34        this section would impose unusual hardship on a  legal  resident  of  this
 35        state;  except  that  the  variations  shall be no less stringent than the
 36        requirements of subsection (4)(d) of this section.
 37        (c)  A person who knowingly makes a false, fictitious or fraudulent state-
 38        ment or representation in an attestation executed pursuant  to  subsection
 39        (4)(d) or (6)(b) of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
 40        (7)  An agency or political subdivision may accept as prima facie evidence
 41    of  an  applicant's  lawful  presence  in  the  United  States the information
 42    required in subsection (4) of this section, as may be modified  by  subsection
 43    (5)  of  this  section,  when  issuing  a professional license or a commercial
 44    license.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 17462

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
2008 that contain conflicting numbering so that the designations
may be corrected.



                           FISCAL NOTE

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this bill.
