Bill Summary

This bill relates to the recording and redistribution of board of parole interview proceedings. The bill provides that if a board of parole interview is conducted electronically, recording of the proceedings by any party is prohibited, and redistribution or posting of such recordings on the internet or through any other medium is prohibited. A violation of this provision constitutes a serious misdemeanor. A serious misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least $430 but not more than $2,560.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Iowa law regarding parole board interview proceedings, specifically addressing electronic interviews. The bill prohibits any party from recording an electronically conducted parole board interview and also bars the redistribution or internet posting of such recordings. If someone violates these restrictions, they would be committing a serious misdemeanor, which under Iowa law means they could face up to one year in confinement and a fine ranging from $430 to $2,560. The provision is part of a broader section of law governing parole board procedures, and it appears designed to protect the privacy and confidentiality of electronic parole interviews. By criminalizing unauthorized recording and sharing of these proceedings, the bill aims to maintain the integrity of the parole interview process and prevent potential misuse of sensitive interview content.
