Cases Description
In this matter, the Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief from Tenn. Code Ann. § 55-4-210(d)(2), which permits the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue to refuse to issue license plates that may carry messages that are “offensive to good taste and decency.” Plaintiff alleges that the statute violates her First Amendment rights and is also unconstitutionally vague.
