H 757 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

MEDICAL NEGLECT – Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding medical neglect for children and vulnerable adults.

H 757 amends Idaho's child welfare laws to clarify definitions related to medical neglect for children and vulnerable adults. It updates terms like "abused," "aggravated circumstances," and "disability" in existing statutes (Sections 16-1602 and 39-5302, Idaho Code) to improve consistency in legal standards. The bill does not create new programs or requirements but refines how medical neglect is legally defined for court and agency use. It directly affects child welfare cases, courts, and agencies handling neglect investigations. The bill is procedural, focusing on terminology rather than policy changes.
