HEALTH AND WELFARE – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to remove provisions previously related to the Department of Health and Welfare that are now assigned to other state agencies and to establish provisions regarding the Insight Integrated Data System.

H 30 creates the Insight Integrated Data System to centralize and link data across Idaho's criminal justice and behavioral health systems. It establishes a Data Oversight Council (including agency directors and the state controller) to approve data projects and ensure confidentiality, while moving data management from the Department of Health and Welfare to the Office of the State Controller. The bill repeals outdated references to the Health and Welfare Department in other laws and amends multiple statutes to remove obsolete provisions. This system will allow state agencies, local governments, and nonprofit partners to securely share data for evaluating system effectiveness, with all records protected under existing privacy laws. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
