Utah’s age verification law can’t be challenged because it’s a ‘bounty’ law

Appeals Court : Utah ’s Age Verification Is Currently Unchallengeable Because It's A Bounty’ Law.

The issue is that it's a “bounty” law, in which the enforcement is done by a private right of action.

That means that any random person can sue someone who they believe is violating the law, and (if they're right) receive a reward.

In Ex parte Young , the Court clarified that a state “officer must have some connection with the enforcement of the [challenged] act” to be exempt from sovereign immunity.

To me, the dissent is compelling, but it’s also the dissent.

FSC has another case before the Supreme Court regarding the age verification law in Texas .
