Amityville's Village Board passed a new local law this week to prohibit "unauthorized signs on public highways."

While seemingly innocuous, this new law presents several constitutional problems which create unnecessary liability exposure for the Village.

First, there is a vagueness problem. Without more specificity, there is no way for people to know what constitutes unauthorized speech. Laws exist to serve people, but to do that, people must know what the laws mean. This is why speed limit signs contain mileage numbers instead of vague guide words. Laws must contain certainty, not circular reasoning (i.e. 'all unauthorized speech is unauthorized')

Second, the new local law is, in effect, a content-based speech ban which prohibits all sign content the Village doesn't want. Content-based speech bans are presumptively unconstitutional and will only survive judicial scrutiny when they are narrowly tailored to serve compelling government interests. A comparable situation would be if the Village banned all parades and demonstrations with speech the Village didn't agree with or if the Amityville school district tried to prohibit public feedback at meetings which the school district didn't agree with.

Last year, the Village ran into problems when it tried to fine residents for displaying political yard signs at times the Village didn't want them to. The Village ceased that attempt after receiving negative feedback. This new law, though, is an even broader attempt to suppress unfavored speech and is worthy of a similar response from residents.

1. Consider alternatives: Divorce can be messy, expensive, and time-consuming.

New York recently ended its public transit 'mask mandate.' What is a 'mandate?' Is a 'mandate' legal? In New York, 'mandates' have taken several forms such as executive orders written by various governors, and actions taken by administrative agencies and other government actors.

In assessing whether a government 'mandate' is legal, one must first see whether there a statute which authorizes the relevant government action (i.e. 'mask mandates'). If so, one must then see whether the government followed the prescribed statutory process, if any, in issuing its 'mandate.'

If so, then the next step is to see whether the 'mandate' and the underlying statute conflict with the New York and United States constitutions. At least one New York 'mandate' has been found to be unconstitutional by a court.

If you think you may be the victim of an unlawful government mandate, feel free contact the Law Office of Peter Collorafi at 1-888-60-PCLAW or on Facebook messenger for a free consultation.

Today is the 77th anniversary of the American bombing of Nagasaki, Japan, during which tens of thousands of Japanese civilians were killed. Also on that day, Burton R. Simon, whose parents lived in Amityville, died when his B-24 bomber crashed during a training mission in Fort Myers, FL.

The Law Office of Peter Collorafi takes great pride in helping to spread awareness of local veterans whose stories might otherwise be forgotten.
