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, the bill specifies that individuals who assist others in such exposures are also guilty of a misdemeanor.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that escalates the penalty for repeat offenders. A person found guilty of a violation of the amended section or a similar statute in another jurisdiction for a third time within five years will be charged with a felony, with potential imprisonment of up to five years. The bill also clarifies that its provisions do not apply to breastfeeding or expressing breast milk for feeding a child. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
