H 604 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRATION – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding a psychosexual evaluation, to provide that failure to provide an evaluation may be an aggravating circumstance, to revise a provision regarding payment for a psychosexual evaluation by a defendant, and to establish provisions regarding use of certain funding and restitution.

Idaho's H 604 amends laws governing sexual offender registration by changing requirements for psychosexual evaluations. It states that a defendant's failure to provide a completed evaluation may lead to a harsher sentence, and clarifies that convicted offenders must pay for evaluations unless they prove financial hardship (in which case the county pays but requires repayment). The bill also specifies that if government funds cover an evaluation, the defendant must repay the government through standard restitution procedures. These changes apply to individuals convicted of offenses listed under Idaho Code §18-8304 who are ordered to undergo such evaluations.
