Supreme Court of the United States

Expressions Hair Design, Petitioners v. Eric T. Schneiderman

March 29, 2017137 S. Ct. 1144

Summary

The Court held that New York's surcharge ban, N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 518, regulates merchants' speech and therefore raises a First Amendment issue, and it found the statute not unconstitutionally vague as applied. The judgment of the Second Circuit was vacated and the case remanded for the appellate court to determine the statute's constitutionality.
