NASHVILLE — Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti has released a statement regarding the recent decision by the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court unanimously decided against a full circuit review of the Friends of George’s, Inc. v. Steven Mulroy case.
“We fought hard to defend Tennessee’s Adult Entertainment Act, and I am glad that the entire Court of Appeals unanimously declined to rehear the case, preserving Tennessee’s win,” said Attorney General Skrmetti. “There has been a lot of misinformation about the Act’s scope since it became law. Tennessee, home to an incredible community of performers and songwriters, respects the awesome importance of the First Amendment. But the First Amendment allows States to restrict adult entertainment to adult-only spaces.”
