HOUSE BILL 489
Law
Essential caregivers, visitation
ESSENTIAL CAREGIVERS – Amends existing law to allow for the designation of essential caregivers for in-person visitation.
RS31106 / H0489
This legislation ensures that immediate family members are automatically considered essential caregivers; clarifies who may give or withdraw essential care giver status consistent with Idaho code regarding surrogate-decision makers; and resolves a conflict when an individual is in the custody of a peace officer or a state correctional facility.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government, therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
