AI Summary
This bill adds a new chapter to Idaho Code to require manufacturers of tablets and smartphones to enable adult content filters on their devices when activated in the state of Idaho. The filters must prevent minors from accessing material that is harmful to them through mobile data networks, manufacturer-owned applications, and wired or wireless internet. Manufacturers who do not comply and allow minors to access harmful content can face civil penalties and enforcement actions by the state Attorney General, as well as potential civil lawsuits by parents or guardians of affected minors. The bill also allows the courts to grant additional relief, such as revoking a manufacturer's business license or enjoining them from operating in the state. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2022.
