AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise the definition of "electioneering communication," and adds a new section called the "Freedom From AI-Rigged (FAIR) Elections Act." The new section provides a process for candidates to seek relief and damages if their actions or speech are deceptively represented through the use of "synthetic media" (realistic but false audio or video) in electioneering communications. The bill also outlines defenses and liability for information content providers and media that disseminate such synthetic media, and encourages courts to expedite matters related to this law.
