Question: Is there a similar law for R-rated movies? --Nintendorulez talk 19:21, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

No, the movie rating system is voluntary as can be seen here [1]

Any news on this law's current status? - SigmaX54

[edit] Controversy?

Should there be a section on controversy of the bill, or is there not enough references to support a new branch in it? --William Pembroke 00:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similar laws

Is there any law that is similar to this that has been passed or is being introduced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.163.116.20 (talk) 19:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Not at this time. There have been quite literally dozens of attempts over the last 15 years to get some kind of legislation passed; each time it was shut down, or shut out and let expire. The bottom line is that even if they ever did somehow get a bill of this type to pass into law, it would be shot down by the US Supreme Court. It violates hundreds of various (many long-standing) US Civil Codes, free speech, and privacy. The movie ratings restriction was shut down by 39 states, even though it was passed as a civil statute (states may chose to abide by said, not mandated as with law). If this was ever signed into civil code, (probably the only way we'd ever see it in today's environment), one could expect the same state-based response to this issue as well.
