The Idaho Senate has approved a new five-level registration system for sexual offenders, the AP reports, despite concerns about costs and more. The bill now heads to the House side, after winning Senate approval on a 20-14 vote. The legislation comes after the Idaho Supreme Court struck down the state's former system and violent sex offender category in 2009 over concerns with due process.

The plan garnered opposition from all 10 Senate members of the Legislature’s joint budget committee, including its co-chairman, Republican Sen. Dean Cameron from Rupert. "I have no confidence that what's proposed to us will be a solution and won't just be a huge boondoggle," he said. AP reporter Ryan Struyk has a full report here.
