Graphic novels/manga imported to US are generally exempt from the IEEPA tariffs, but today's Supreme Court oral argument on the tarriffs' validity nonetheless has significant implications for the comics industry: apparel, collectibles, imported paper/ink for US-made books, etc.

More detail on the latest victory in our case against Texas HB900, with comments by the CBLDF's Jeff Trexler

Judge Alan D. Albright of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas ordered a permanent injunction against HB 900 on October 21 in Book People Inc. v. Wong, writing that the mandatory book rating law “compels speech, is void for vagueness, and is an unconstitutional prior restraint”

Court ruling, per CBDLF:

“HB900’s mandatory ratings system is an unconstitutional attempt by the government to compel speech.

The standards for assessing books in HB900 are unconstitutionally vague.

HB900’s restrictions on distributing books impose an unconstitutional prior restraint.”
Another victory for the CBLDF and our co-plaintiffs in our lawsuit to strike down Texas HB900, a recently enacted law that seeks to impose a ratings system on books distributed to Texas schools. Proponents of this law expressly targeted graphic novels, and the ratings system would have effectively been a government-mandated successor to the notorious Comics Code. As the court ruling below states, the law is unconstitutional on several counts. • HB900's mandatory ratings system is an unconstitutional attempt by the government to compel speech. • The standards for assessing books in HB900 are unconstitutionally vague. • HB900's restrictions on distributing books impose an unconstitutional prior restraint. Of course, there's a strong likelihood that the state will appeal the ruling to the Fifth Circuit, but the Fifth Circuit did rule in our favor the last time the state tried to appeal the case.
