S 1249 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

JUVENILE CORRECTIONS – Amends existing law to remove outdated language regarding time zones.

This bill (S 1249) removes outdated references to "mountain standard time" from Idaho's juvenile detention reimbursement law (Section 20-524A, Idaho Code). It directly affects counties that house juveniles in detention centers by updating the administrative rule for calculating reimbursement periods. The key change is eliminating the obsolete time zone specification, ensuring the law aligns with current time practices without altering how counties are reimbursed for detention costs beyond five days. This is a technical cleanup with no substantive policy change.
