CANOGA PARK, Calif. - The U.S. Department of Justice today issued proposed regulations for Section 2257A, an addition to the 2257 federal record-keeping law which applies to those who produce images of simulated sexual activity.

The proposed regulations appear at pages 32262 through 32273 of volume 73 of the Federal Register and on the Free Speech Coalition’s website. The public comment period for these proposed regulations will end on August 5, 2008.

Section 2257A was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Bush in July 2006 as part of the Adam Walsh Act. The proposed record-keeping requirements provoked a strong reaction from Hollywood studios concerned that the regulations could affect mainstream movies depicting sexual conduct.
