Lee's bill acknowledges "obscenity is difficult to define (let alone prosecute) under the current Supreme Court test for obscenity: the ‘Miller Test,'" a reference to the United States Supreme Court's test for determining whether speech or expression can be labeled obscene, in which case it is not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and can be prohibited.
Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism after he introduced a bill that would outlaw pornography in the United States.

The bill, named the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), could effectively decide adult videos are not protected by free speech, proposing "obscenity is not protected speech under the First Amendment and is prohibited from interstate or foreign transmission under U.S. law."

Lee's bill caught the attention of the Free Speech Coalition (FSC), a non-profit trade association of the pornography and adult entertainment industry in the United States that opposes the passage and enforcement of obscenity laws and many censorship laws.
The organization said it will be "monitoring the bill, and will continue to do so in the new Congress" when Republicans officially take control of the House of Representatives following last month's midterm election results.
