OBSCENE MATERIAL AND LEWD MATTER – Amends existing law to revise the definition of “obscene material” and to revise the definition of “lewd matter.”

H 795 revises Idaho's legal definitions of "obscene material" and "lewd matter" to clarify what constitutes illegal content. The bill updates the definition to specify that material must appeal to a "shameful or morbid interest in sexual matters" when judged by community standards, and explicitly includes depictions of sexual acts, masturbation, or genital exposure as patently offensive. It maintains the exception for material with serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value, and clarifies that breastfeeding is not prohibited. This affects publishers, performers, businesses selling such material, and law enforcement by providing clearer standards for enforcement under Idaho law. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
