Bill Summary

RELATING TO INDECENT EXPOSURE; AMENDING SECTION 18-4116, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE PROVISIONS REGARDING INDECENT EXPOSURE; AND DECLARING AN EMER- GENCY.

AI Summary

This bill amends Idaho's existing indecent exposure law to broaden the definition of what constitutes indecent exposure, expanding it beyond just genitals to include developed female breasts, medically or hormonally altered male breasts that resemble female breasts, artificial breasts, and displays of anatomical toys or products. The bill modifies the legal language to specify that exposure occurs in public places or in the presence of others who are offended, removing the previous term "annoyed." Additionally, the bill changes the repeat offense penalty structure, making a third offense within five years a potential felony, with imprisonment in state prison for up to five years (reduced from the previous ten-year maximum). The bill explicitly maintains an exemption for breastfeeding and breast milk expression for child feeding. These changes appear aimed at creating more precise legal definitions and potentially more consistent enforcement of indecent exposure regulations.
