FSC Touts 2257 Decision From 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals

FSC Touts 2257 Decision  From 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals

LOS ANGELES — The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) announced this afternoon it has "prevailed in its long-running suit with the U.S. government over 2257 record-keeping regulations."

Following is a brief statement from FSC Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas:

Free Speech Coalition has prevailed in its long-running suit with the US government over 2257 record-keeping regulations. The decision, handed down by the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, is a defeat for the government. However, the decision is complicated, and the scope of our victory is still being determined by our legal team. We expect to have a fuller legal analysis later today, as well as recommendations for proceeding in light of the decision.

In the meantime, we urge that all producers continue to fully comply with existing 2257 regulations, as the scope has not been determined and the decision issued by the 3rd Circuit is still subject to appeal.

— Jeffrey Douglas, FSC Board Chair
