This bill amends Section 18-4116 of the Idaho Code to revise the legal definitions and penalties associated with indecent exposure. It establishes that a person is guilty of a misdemeanor for willfully and lewdly exposing their genitals, developed female breasts (including the areola and nipple), adult male breasts that have been altered to appear like female breasts, artificial breasts intended to resemble female breasts, or displaying toys or products resembling male or female genitals in public or in the presence of others who may be offended. Additionally, it includes provisions for those who counsel or assist in such exposures.

The bill also stipulates that individuals who are found guilty of a violation of these provisions for a third time within five years will be charged with a felony, with potential imprisonment of up to five years. Importantly, the bill clarifies that these provisions do not apply to breastfeeding or the expression of breast milk for feeding a child. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, following the declaration of an emergency.
