Commercial speech though is subject to an intermediate standard of review first set forth in Central Hudson, supra, 447 U.S. at page 566 : “At the outset, we must determine whether the expression is protected by the First Amendment.

2004That standard asks (1) "whether the expression is protected by the First Amendment," which means that the expression "at least must concern lawful activity and not be misleading"; (2) "whether the asserted governmental interest is substantial"; if yes to both, then (3) "whether the regulation directly advances the governmental interest asserted"; and (4) "whether it is not more extensive than is necessary to serve that interest." ( Id. at p. 566, 100 S.Ct. 2343 .) We believe this intermediate standard appropriately protects the free speech rights article I was designed to safeguard.
