HB432 creates the Criminal Justice Integrated Data System and the Data Oversight Council.
The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB432 on February 28, 2020 by a vote of 35 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill would create an unnecessary new government program called the Criminal Justice Integrated Data System. It is designed to house and transmit sensitive information between government agencies. This new program requires dedicated staffing and financial expenditure, while also creating new security vulnerabilities. It represents an unnecessary – and potentially dangerous – expansion of government.
