No More Sexual Violence

Sexual Offender Management Board

**NEW**
The SOMB is proposing IDAPA 57 Administrative Rule changes to coincide with proposed modifications to its standards for psychosexual evaluators, sex offender treatment providers, post-conviction sex offender polygraph examiners and quality assurance process, among technical changes to forms. You can find the Administrative Rule notice and proposed changes here.

The SOMB was formed by legislative action in 2011 to develop, advance and oversee statewide sexual offender management policies and practices. Statutory authority lies within Sections 18-8312 and 18-1814, Idaho Code.

This independent 11-member policy board is administratively based within the Idaho Department of Correction, but functions separately from IDOC. Ten members serve by Gubernatorial appointment and a Judicial representative is appointed by the Judiciary. The board is charged with setting standards for adult and juvenile psychosexual evaluations and sex offender treatment programs; certifying professionals who conduct pre-sentence psychosexual evaluations, sex offender treatment, and post-conviction sex offender polygraphs that are ordered by the court, IDOC or Commission for Pardons and Parole; providing quality assurance of standards and qualifications; and establishing protocols for sex offender management and classifiaction.

Any displayed, physical, or unlawful solicitation for sexual conduct with a person who is unwilling or unable to give legal consent is an act of sexual violence.
