XBIZ.net News Alert on DOJ Call for Comments

Just got this in the mail from XBIZ.net ... I know fewer and fewer here are US, but, this is still a topic of interest:




Tomorrow morning, the Federal Register will publish DOJ's legally-mandated call for public comments about the economic and manpower burdens associated with Section 2257 records creation and maintenance.

They think it takes six minutes.

They think it only applies to about 900 people

Read my take on it here.http://www.xxxlaw.com/articles/DOJ_R...the_Table.html

I think this puts all the regs on the table for discussion. Obviously, DOJ can't just walk away and not regulate because there is a statute. But they have huge and tremendous discretion and most of the burden, and most of the confusing craziness is a product of how they have implemented the mandate of Congress in their bewildering regulations. If you decide to write on your own, at least read my Primer to get your ideas together. http://www.xxxlaw.com/section-2257/index.html

This is a call to action. You have 30 days to comment, to create an administrative record that can later be used in court, and it's possible to do so anonymously.

This is a great opportunity for people to weigh in on 2257 and any record keeping burdens they experience.

I suspect that with how this industry can be so fragmented and aloof, most will not take the opportunity to possibly effect some change.

I saw one suggestion made at the zoo that I liked ... have an industry association(s) tasked with accepting releases and ID's and then authorities will only have to go one place for inspections. If a member, list the association as the custodian. Also have a back-end open for authorities where they can quickly check records if they encounter something questionable.
