Bill > AB897

This bill creates a new section in the Wisconsin statutes, Section 134.47, which establishes requirements for adult-entertainment establishments. The key provisions include: 1. Defining "adult-entertainment establishment" as a commercial establishment that offers sexually-oriented material, devices, or presentations. 2. Prohibiting individuals convicted of certain "disqualifying offenses" (such as sex trafficking, sexual assault, or stalking) from being an "interested person" (i.e., having legal authority to manage/control operations or policies, holding a management position, or having a 30% financial interest) in an adult-entertainment establishment. 3. Requiring adult-entertainment establishments to display a poster related to human trafficking, not employ individuals under 18 or who are victims of sex trafficking, and not knowingly allow violations of drug or prostitution laws on the premises. 4. Authorizing law enforcement to request a list of all employees and interested persons of an adult-entertainment establishment, with limitations on disclosure of that information. 5. Establishing penalties of up to $10,000 for violations, with each prohibited act and each day of a knowing violation constituting a separate violation.
