This bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 39, to Title 6 of the Idaho Code, which establishes provisions regarding indecent sexual exhibitions and the associated civil actions. The legislation outlines the responsibilities of individuals and institutions that organize or host live shows involving sexual conduct, particularly when minors may be present. It mandates that reasonable steps must be taken to restrict minors' access to such performances if they are deemed patently offensive according to contemporary community standards. The bill also provides a private cause of action for minors who are exposed to sexual conduct in violation of these provisions, allowing them to seek statutory damages of $5,000 for each violation, along with compensation for any psychological, emotional, or physical harm suffered.

Additionally, the bill specifies affirmative defenses for hosts and organizers, such as having a legally enforceable contract with performers or obtaining prior written consent from a minor's parent or guardian. It also empowers the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney to seek injunctive relief against violators of the law. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting minors from exposure to indecent content and recognizes the potential negative social impacts associated with such exposure. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect 30 days after being signed by the Governor.
