Text of the measure
Ballot language
The following was ballot language that appeared before voters:[2]
| “ | Shall Section 5, Article X, of the Constitution of the State of Idaho be amended to provide that the state board of correction shall have the control, direction and management of adult felony probation and parole? | ” |
Support
The following were statements submitted in support of the measure:[2]
- Currently, adult felony probationers are supervised by the Board of Correction through the Idaho Department of Correction. This amendment would preserve local control of the misdemeanor probation process by clarifying that the state's role is limited to felony offenders, while counties have supervision authority over misdemeanor probationers.
- Because the Idaho Constitution is not clear regarding state and local supervision of adult felony and misdemeanor probationers, legal challenges could result in unwanted changes to the current system. This amendment would allow voters to provide constitutional clarification
Opposition
The following were statements submitted in support of the measure:[2]
- Changes to the Constitution should be made only for major issues of interest to the state or in the event of a constitutional crisis.
- This Section preserves the statewide uniform felony probation system, but does not address possible different misdemeanor probation treatment among judicial districts.
Path to the ballot
If a proposed amendment is agreed to by two-thirds of the members of both the Idaho State Senate and the Idaho House of Representatives, the proposed amendment goes on the next general election ballot.
