AI Summary
This bill establishes the Children's Device Protection Act in Idaho, which requires all devices such as tablets and smartphones manufactured after January 1, 2025 and activated in the state to contain a filter that prevents minors from accessing obscene material through internet browsers or search engines. The bill defines key terms, outlines requirements for manufacturers to enable the filters and allow users to deactivate them with a password, and establishes civil and criminal liability for manufacturers whose devices do not comply with the law and allow minors to access obscene content. The bill also empowers the state Attorney General to seek injunctions, civil penalties, and other remedies against non-compliant manufacturers. The bill declares an emergency and will take effect on July 1, 2024.
