6-6-1: PURPOSE:
Freedom of speech and association are among those precious rights guaranteed and protected by the United States and Idaho Constitutions. The law gives the city the ability to balance those rights with its interests in regulating competing uses of public space, protecting its citizens, and preserving city and public property. As a municipal government, the city may enact content-neutral restrictions on the time, place, and manner of such expression in order to promote such significant government interests. The purpose of this chapter is to set forth the circumstances under which the city will regulate First Amendment activity. (Ord. 619, 4-12-2023)
