Bill > H0575

This bill adds a new section to Idaho's criminal code to create the crime of "disclosing explicit synthetic media." The bill defines "explicit synthetic media" as images or videos that realistically depict an identifiable person engaged in sexual conduct, even if the person did not actually participate. The bill makes it a crime to knowingly disclose such media without the person's consent, with the intent to cause them emotional distress or for financial gain. The bill provides some exemptions, such as for criminal investigations, reporting unlawful conduct, or legitimate research and education purposes. The bill also includes severability and an emergency clause to make it effective on July 1, 2024.
