A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Idaho has several laws in place to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices. These laws cover areas such as commercial email and spam, telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation, and unlawful trade practices.

The Idaho Unfair Bulk Electronic Mail Practices Act, codified at Idaho Code Title 48, Chapter 6 (§ 48-603E), is an amendment to the Idaho Consumer Protection Act of 1971. This law specifically enables the exercise of a private right of action under that Act. This means that individuals can take legal action against businesses that engage in unfair or deceptive practices related to bulk electronic mail, also known as spam.

If a business sends unsolicited emails to consumers in Idaho, and those emails contain false or misleading information, the business could be in violation of the Idaho Unfair Bulk Electronic Mail Practices Act. For example, if a business sends an email claiming that the recipient has won a prize, but the prize does not actually exist, this would be considered a deceptive practice.

The Idaho Telephone Solicitation Act, codified at Idaho Code Title 48, Chapter 10 (§§ 48-1001 - 48-1010), sets out specific requirements for businesses that engage in telemarketing or other forms of telephonic solicitation. This law is designed to protect consumers from unwanted and potentially deceptive phone calls.

If a business calls a consumer in Idaho and tries to sell them a product or service, they must comply with the requirements set out in the Idaho Telephone Solicitation Act. For example, they must identify themselves and the purpose of the call, and they must provide the consumer with a way to opt out of future calls.

The Idaho Consumer Protection Act of 1971, codified at Idaho Code Title 48, Chapter 6 (§§ 48-601 - 48-619), is a broad law that covers a wide range of unfair and deceptive business practices. This law is designed to protect consumers from businesses that engage in fraudulent or deceptive practices.

If a business in Idaho makes false or misleading claims about their products or services, they could be in violation of the Idaho Consumer Protection Act. For example, if a business claims that their product can cure a specific medical condition, but they have no scientific evidence to support this claim, they could be engaging in deceptive practices.
