Donation Boxes and Content Restrictions

Applying City of Austin v. Reagan Nat’l Advertising, 596 U.S. 61 (2022), the Fifth Circuit held in National Federation of the Blind of Texas v. City of Arlington that Arlington’s regulation of donation-collecting “drop boxes” was not contend-based (example, right, from Arlington’s web page about the rule). From there, the panel majority found that the regulation satisfied intermediate scrutiny; a dissent took issue with one aspect of that holding. No. 23-10034 (July 17, 2024).
