International Society for Krishna Consciousness of California, Inc., Plaintiffs and Respondents v. City Of…

Summary

The court held that the airport solicitation ordinance is valid as a content-neutral, narrowly tailored time, place, and manner restriction because it prohibits only requests for the immediate receipt of funds while allowing other speech and methods of soliciting support. Because the ordinance would be valid whether or not the publicly accessible areas of the airport are public forums, the court declined to decide that question. Justice Kennard, concurring, would have held those areas to be public forums, while Justice Chin, concurring, would have held that the airport is not a public forum under the California Constitution.
