This bill amends Section 906.5 of the Iowa Code to address the recording and redistribution of board of parole interview proceedings. It mandates that the board must notify the department of corrections at least twenty days before conducting an interview with a person. If the interview is to be conducted electronically, the bill explicitly prohibits any party from recording the proceedings and from redistributing or posting such recordings online or through any other medium.

Violating this prohibition is classified as a serious misdemeanor, which carries penalties of confinement for up to one year and a fine ranging from $430 to $2,560. The bill aims to enhance the confidentiality and integrity of parole interview proceedings conducted electronically, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected.
