MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE - INDIANA

Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, Inc. v. Town of Yorktown, Ind.

United States District Court, S.D. Indiana, Indianapolis Division - September 30, 2014 - Slip Copy - 2014 WL 4908098

At issue was whether municipal ordinance prohibiting of door-to-door canvassing and solicitation after the hour of 9:00 p.m. or sunset, whichever is earlier, comported with the First Amendment.

The District Court held that the ordinance was neither narrowly tailored to the Town’s legitimate government interests, nor did it provide ample alternative methods for communication. Accordingly, the Ordinance cannot survive constitutional scrutiny on its face or as applied.
