True or False? What We Learned in Law News This Week

It’s Friday, folks, which means just one thing on the Buzz blog: time again to review what we learned this week in law news, advisories, and updates on JD Supra.

Pay attention, please, there will be a test. Oh wait, this is the test:

True or False?

• There is a bill in the works that would cause U.S. taxpayers to lose their passport if they owe the IRS more than $50,000

• Last year the Central Bank of Qatar issued a directive banning banks from offering Islamic products and “windows”
• Heads up: if you are a California retailer and you get sued for asking customers for zip codes, have no fear - your insurance probably covers you
• What you talkin’ about? The Defense Against Marriage Act is perfectly constitutional!
• The FDA has announced that ‘high fructose corn syrup’ can indeed be re-branded ‘corn sugar’
• The National Labor Relations Board has issued a new report on social media usage/policies, and the majority of feedback is extraordinarily positive
