Wouldn’t this law conflict with the Supreme Court’s Hazelwood ruling?
No. Hazelwood is a First Amendment case. It does not require administrative censorship. Moreover, the First Amendment establishes a “floor” of legal protection. While states cannot pass a law that provides less protection than the First Amendment, the Court has made clear that states can always choose to provide more protection for their citizens. That is what HB 1307 does.
