A federal appeals court has stayed an injunction that had blocked enforcement of the state’s law requiring age verification for people viewing pornography websites in Indiana.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit says Indiana’s law is “functionally identical” to one in place in Texas that has been in effect since April.
Indiana’s law had an effective date of July 1st, but a federal judge issued the preliminary injunction to stop enforcement and said the requirements were “likely unconstitutional.”
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita asked for the stay until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling on the Texas law.
