ADMINISTRATIVE SUBPOENAS -- Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding an administrative subpoena.

ADMINISTRATIVE SUBPOENAS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Idaho Code 19-3004A allows the attorney general or prosecuting attorney to subpoena electronic service providers to determine the identity of a suspect. The subpoena can only ask for identifying information. It cannot ask for the content of any communications. This Amendment adds one new crime: 18-1507C- Visual Representations of the Sexual Abuse of Children. Idaho Code 18-1507C was passed in 2024 and makes it a crime to produce, distribute, receive, possess, or access a visual representation of a child engaging in explicit sexual conduct, including images or video created using artificial intelligence. These subpoenas are a critical tool for law enforcement, including the attorney general's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. ICAC investigators use the subpoenas to identify suspects who are downloading or uploading child sexual abuse material. This amendment will allow investigators to use subpoenas to investigate AI-generated child sexual abuse material the same way they can now use subpoenas to investigate other forms of child sexual abuse material.
