Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding a civil action following an indecent sexual exhibition.

This legislation would create a duty of care for hosts, organizers, and performers of indecent sexual exhibitions to take reasonable steps to restrict the access of minors. This legislation would not ban indecent sexual exhibitions outright, but effectively functions as a constitutionally permissible time, place, and manner regulation on where and when indecent sexual exhibitions may occur. This legislation uses the same indecency standard utilized by the federal government to determine whether content is appropriate for daytime television. Affirmative defenses are provided for ticketed events when the minor has attained to 14 years of age or when a facilities host is able to produce a legally enforceable contract which stipulates that performers at the event shall not engage in indecent sexual conduct.
