Bill > S1369

This bill adds a new chapter to existing Idaho law to prevent deceptive advertising practices relating to musical groups. It prohibits a performing group from advertising or conducting a live musical performance using a false, deceptive, or misleading affiliation, connection, or association with a recording group of the same or substantially similar name. The bill provides exceptions for registered trademark owners, tribute performances, performing groups with a legal right to the recording group's name, advertising not related to live performances in Idaho, and authorized performances. The law can be enforced through injunctive or equitable relief, and parties who are injured may recover actual damages, with the prevailing party awarded costs and attorney's fees.
