H 796 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

MINORS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding material harmful to minors.

This bill revises Idaho's laws regarding material harmful to minors by updating key definitions and clarifying protections for schools and libraries. It defines "adolescent minor" as ages 13-18 (previously 12-18), refines terms like "nudity" and "sexually explicit," and explicitly excludes educational, artistic, or scientific content from restrictions. Schools and libraries are prohibited from providing material that is both "sexually explicit" and "harmful to minors" when considered as a whole. The changes aim to modernize existing statutes while maintaining exemptions for content with literary, artistic, or educational value.
