Idaho's Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 270, updating the indecent exposure law to explicitly prohibit displaying female breasts, altered male breasts, and products resembling genitals in public. The law arose from a complaint regarding a topless woman during a Pride event, revealing gaps in previous regulations. Critics argue it disproportionately impacts transgender individuals and may violate free speech rights. Despite these concerns, breastfeeding in public remains legal, while other expressions, particularly involving firearms, seem to be unaffected by the new restrictions.
