Pornography labeling bill in Utah sparks lawsuit warning

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Pornography in Utah would have to come with a warning label under a bill passed by the Legislature that has sparked concerns about a potential lawsuit. The proposal cleared its final hurdle Monday in the Legislature and now goes to Republican Gov. Gary Herbert for consideration. It would mandate a one-sentence warning label about potential harm to minors for online or print material deemed legally obscene. Producers who don’t include it could face a $2,500 penalty per violation. A member of an adult-entertainment trade group says it could violate the First Amendment and would likely be challenged in court.
