  • New Jersey Bankers Association v. Attorney General of New Jersey

Industry-specific contribution bans such as New Jersey’s directly burden associational rights and are subject to exacting scrutiny, which requires narrow tailoring. The district court erred in applying intermediate scrutiny. The ban is not narrowly tailored to New Jersey’s stated anti-corruption interest. A more reasonable and narrowly tailored alternative would apply the same contribution limits to banks as New Jersey already applies to other corporations and labor unions.
