This bill amends various sections of the Idaho Code to clarify the authority regarding the control of remains in prearranged funeral plans, adjust the termination conditions of guardianship for incapacitated persons, and correct a code reference.

  • Section 54-1142

    if no guardian was then acting, the person acting as conservator of the decedent at the time of the decedent's death; → if no guardian was then acting, the person acting as conservator of the protected person at the time of the protected person's death;

    This change clarifies language regarding who has authority in the absence of a guardian at the time of death.

  • Section 15-5-306

    If the conditions set forth in a guardian has the right to control the disposition of the remains of a deceased person or to determine provisions not clearly covered in a prearranged funeral plan pursuant to section 54-1142(1)(j) exist , Idaho Code, then the guardianship shall continue as set forth in that section. → If the conditions set forth in a guardian has the right to control the disposition of the remains of a deceased person or to determine provisions not clearly covered in a prearranged funeral plan pursuant to section 54-1142(1)(j) exist, Idaho Code, then the guardianship shall continue as set forth in that section.

    This amendment specifies the guardianship conditions for controlling disposition of remains more clearly.

  • Section 54-1142

    If any person to whom the right of control has vested pursuant to the foregoing has been charged with first or second degree murder or voluntary manslaughter in connection with the decedent's death, and those charges are known to the funeral director or cemetery authority, the right of control is relinquished and passed on to the next qualifying person as listed above as if the charged person did not exist; provided however, that if the charges against such person are dropped, or if such person is acquitted of the charges, the right of control is returned to the person.

    This highlights the relinquishment of control due to criminal charges, affecting the procedural aspects regarding the disposition of remains.
