In a matter of days, state lawmakers return to Boise for an extraordinary session of the Legislature, where they will be asked to vote on a bill, as Gov. Butch Otter’s proclamation put it, “to maintain a compliant state program of child-support services in Idaho … and to ensure our state’s policies for recognizing foreign judgments are preserved.” The governor’s proclamation doesn’t tell lawmakers what legislation to adopt, but the governor posted a proposal on his website that remains flawed despite new sections intended to satisfy recalcitrant legislators who balked at Senate Bill 1067 prior to adjournment of the regular legislative session in April. In general, the bill fails because it gives lip service to concerns lawmakers had about data security, due process, legislative oversight and state sovereignty/Wayne Hoffman, Idaho Freedom Foundation.
