The bill amends Section 906.5 of the Iowa Code to establish regulations regarding the recording and redistribution of board of parole interview proceedings, particularly when these interviews are conducted electronically. It mandates that if an interview is held in this manner, no party is allowed to record the proceedings, and any redistribution or posting of such recordings on the internet or through other mediums is strictly prohibited.

Violating these provisions is classified as a serious misdemeanor, which carries penalties that include confinement for up to one year and a fine ranging from $430 to $2,560. This legislative change aims to enhance the confidentiality and integrity of parole interview processes.
