ID H0117

Amends Idaho Code Section 18-8310 to modify language requiring petitioners to complete "any all periods" of supervised release, probation, or parole to instead require completion of periods "for the conviction requiring registration" without revocation.

Allows sexual offenders (except recidivists, those convicted of aggravated offenses, or those designated as violent sexual predators) to petition district court after 10 years from release from incarceration or placement on parole, supervised release, or probation to be exempted from registration requirements.

Requires petitioners to provide clear and convincing evidence of completed supervision, absence of pending criminal charges, completion of sexual offender treatment programs, and no felony convictions or sex offenses during the registration period.

Permits district court to exempt petitioners from registration requirements only after an open court hearing and upon clear and convincing evidence that the petitioner is not a recidivist, has not committed an aggravated offense, and is not a risk to commit new violent crimes.

Takes effect July 1, 2023, with an emergency declaration included in the legislation.
