We have been tracking this case for the past couple of years — see our prior posts here and here.

The state argues this provision is merely restorative justice, not a constitutional violation nor economic protectionism, which would violate the Commerce Clause. The Second Circuit disagrees, granting the plaintiff organization a preliminary injunction against the state enforcing this provision.The…
