Idaho S1232 establishes the "Idaho Son of Sam Law" to regulate proceeds from criminal notoriety.
Idaho S1232 repeals and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding proceeds derived from criminal notoriety. This law, known as the "Idaho Son of Sam Law," mandates that any person or company paying an offender for work, performance, or appearance that exploits the notoriety of a crime must send such payment to the Idaho state treasurer. The treasurer places the payment in an interest-bearing escrow account for five years unless extended by court order. The law ensures victims of crime may recover restitution or damages from these proceeds.
