Bill Summary
MINORS -- Amends and adds to existing law to prohibit certain materials from being promoted, given, or made available to a minor by a school or public library and to provide a cause of action.
AI Summary
This bill amends and adds to existing Idaho law to prohibit schools and public libraries from promoting, giving, or making available to minors (those under 18 years old) any materials that depict nudity, sexual conduct, or sado-masochistic abuse, and are considered harmful to minors. The bill provides a cause of action for minors or their parents/guardians to seek statutory and actual damages if such materials are provided, or if the institution fails to take reasonable steps to restrict access to these materials. It also allows county prosecutors or the state attorney general to seek injunctive relief against schools or libraries that violate these provisions. The bill includes affirmative defenses related to reasonable belief about the minor's age or accompaniment by a parent/guardian.
