Utah considers law to mandate ISP's block "harmful" sites

You missed a very important line in the article:

"Internet providers in Utah must offer their customers a way to disable 
access to sites on the list or face felony charges."

In other words you must provide a mechanism for a customer to "opt-in" 
to a filter.  Doesn't sound illegal to force an ISP to provide a feature.
