MINORS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding material harmful to minors.
This Idaho bill updates state laws to clarify definitions and strengthen protections against material harmful to minors. It directly affects individuals who distribute, sell, or provide explicit content to people under 18, as well as schools and public libraries. The legislation establishes specific definitions for terms like "minor," "nudity," and "sexual conduct," while prohibiting the promotion or distribution of sexually explicit materials to adolescents. Schools and libraries are explicitly barred from giving or making available such harmful material to minors. The law classifies violations as misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine of $1,000.
