S 1090 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

JUVENILE PROCEEDINGS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding certain juvenile proceedings.

This Idaho bill (S 1090) revises juvenile court procedures for children in foster care. It shortens the timeline for court review hearings from every six months to every two months, requiring courts to address specific issues like educational stability, sibling placement, youth input for those aged 12+, and documentation of psychotropic medication use. The law directly affects children in foster care, their families, courts, and child welfare agencies by mandating detailed reporting and case planning. Key changes include stricter requirements for justifying "another planned permanent living arrangement" instead of reunification or adoption, and documenting efforts to place siblings together or maintain school stability.
