AI Summary

This bill amends Idaho law to add a new section called the "Freedom From AI-Rigged (FAIR) Elections Act". It defines key terms like "information content provider", "interactive computer service", and "synthetic media". The bill provides a candidate whose action or speech is deceptively represented through synthetic media in an electioneering communication the ability to seek injunctive relief to prohibit publication of the synthetic media, as well as the ability to seek damages from the information content provider. The bill also establishes an affirmative defense if the electioneering communication includes a prominent disclosure that the media has been manipulated. Additionally, the bill encourages courts to expedite matters related to this law and limits the liability of certain media platforms that disseminate the electioneering communication.
