Bill > H0727

This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise provisions related to video voyeurism and the penalties for disclosing explicit synthetic media, which refers to images or videos created or altered using technology like artificial intelligence to realistically misrepresent an identifiable person as engaging in conduct they did not. Specifically, it expands the definition of video voyeurism to include threatening or conspiring to disseminate, publish, or sell images where intimate areas are exposed or a sexual act is depicted, and it clarifies that disclosing explicit synthetic media becomes a felony if the identifiable person is under 18 years old or if the offender has a prior conviction for a similar offense within the last five years. The bill also includes an emergency clause, making these changes effective on July 1, 2026.
