CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-Continued.

2. Congressional redistricting plan.-District Court's plan for Geor-
gia's congressional districts, which gives State only one majority-black
district, is constitutional, since court took into consideration traditional
state districting factors and remained sensitive to equal protection re-
quirements. Abrams v. Johnson, p. 74.

3. Redistricting plan for state legislature.-A new plan to redistrict
Florida Legislature did not unconstitutionally subordinate traditional dis-
tricting principles to race. Lawyer v. Department of Justice, p. 567.

VI. Establishment of Religion.

Federally funded remedial education programs-Sending public
school teachers to parochial schools.-Because New York City's program
sending public school teachers into parochial schools to provide remedial
instruction to disadvantaged children under Title I of Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 does not violate Establishment Clause,
Aguilar v. Felton, 473 U. S. 402, and a portion of School Dist. of Grand
Rapids v. Ball, 473 U. S. 373, are overruled, and relief from District
Court's order enjoining use of Title I funds for such program is granted
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(5). Agostini v. Felton, p. 203.

VII. Ex Post Facto Laws.

State Sexually Violent Predator Act.-Kansas Act does not constitute
impermissible ex post facto lawmaking. Kansas v. Hendricks, p. 346.

VIII. Freedom of Speech.

1. Commercial speech-Generic advertising required by federal law.—
Requirement, set forth in marketing orders promulgated under Agricul-
tural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, that respondent California tree
fruit producers finance generic advertising of their products does not vio-
late First Amendment under Central Hudson Gas & Elec. Corp. v. Public
Serv. Comm'n of N. Y., 447 U. S. 557. Glickman v. Wileman Brothers &
Elliott, Inc., p. 457.

2. Communications Decency Act of 1996-Internet transmission of
sexually explicit materials to minors.—Act's provisions prohibiting “in-
decent transmission" or "patently offensive display" of sexually explicit
materials to minors on Internet violate First Amendment. Reno v.
American Civil Liberties Union, p. 844.

IX. States' Immunity from Suit.

Dispute between Indian Tribe and State-Ownership of submerged
lands.-Doctrine of Ex parte Young, 209 U. S. 123, does not apply to elimi-
nate Idaho's Eleventh Amendment immunity from a Tribe's suit for declar-
atory and injunctive relief to preclude state officials from interfering with

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-Continued.

Tribe's ownership of submerged lands beneath navigable waters. Idaho
v. Coeur d'Alene Tribe of Idaho, p. 261.

X. States' Powers.

Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act-Background checks by local
law enforcement officers.-Act's interim provisions compelling local law
enforcement officers to conduct background checks on prospective hand-
gun purchasers and to perform related tasks are unconstitutional. Printz
