Conservative lawmakers want porn taxes. Critics say they’re unconstitutional.
摘要
美国犹他州共和党议员提出一项法案，拟对在该州运营的色情网站征收7%的税费，并收取每年500美元的注册费。法案要求相关税收收入将用于该州卫生与公众服务部，以加强青少年心理健康支持。批评者认为此类税收可能违宪。该法案若通过，将于今年5月生效。
As age-verification laws continue to dismantle the adult industry—and determine the future of free speech on the internet—a Utah lawmaker proposed a bill this week that would enforce a tax on porn sites that operate within the state.
Introduced by state senator Calvin Musselman, a Republican, the bill would impose a 7 percent tax on total receipts “from sales, distributions, memberships, subscriptions, performances, and content amounting to material harmful to minors that is produced, sold, filmed, generated, or otherwise based” in Utah. If passed, the bill would go into effect in May and would also require adult sites to pay a $500 annual fee to the State Tax Commission. Per the legislation, the money made from the tax will be used by Utah’s Department of Health and Human Services to provide more mental health support for teens.
Musselman did not respond to a request for comment.
