CRIME – Adds to existing law to provide that reporting child abuse, abandonment, or neglect falsely is a misdemeanor.
RS30063C1 / H0066
This legislation creates a new section of Idaho Code, 18-5415, related to reporting abuse, neglect or the abandonment of children under the Child Protective Act (CPS). Currently a person who reports allegations to CPS that they know to be false or reports allegations in bad faith or with malice is subject to civil liability to the parties against whom the report was made. This legislation adds a misdemeanor criminal penalty for these types of reports.
