CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS – Amends existing law to authorize the submission of fingerprints of certain persons to the Bureau of Criminal Identification.

This Idaho bill (H 19) amends laws governing criminal history record access. It authorizes state/local governments, licensing agencies, and private entities serving vulnerable populations (like children or the elderly) to submit fingerprints to the Bureau of Criminal Identification for background checks. Key changes include designating the Bureau as Idaho's sole source for FBI fingerprint submissions, requiring written requests with personal identification for record access, and mandating a clear warning that "an arrest without disposition is not an indication of guilt" on all records. The bill also restricts sharing criminal history data without consent, except to criminal justice agencies or courts. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
