Winmill denies in part the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's motion to dismiss a mother's allegations of violations of the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Idaho Constitution after she was reported for child neglect when she tested positive for THC shortly after giving birth. The mother alleges that her marijuana use was medical, to treat extreme nausea, and that she was not provided with sufficient process before being placed on the Central Registry for ten years. Individuals are not given an opportunity to present evidence or arguments in their favor while the initial determination and administrative review are conducted, which creates "a considerable risk of error." The mother has plausibly pleaded that additional process is due. The mother is granted leave to amend her equal protection and Idaho Constitution claims.
