More daycares off-limits to sex offenders

The law expands which daycare sites are protected by Idaho’s stay-away rules for registered sex offenders. Beginning July 1, 2026, any daycare that is licensed, or that a city or county has zoned, permitted, or approved for daycare, counts as a daycare under the law. These places now receive the same protections as other covered sites.
