AI Summary
This bill is proposed to amend the Tennessee Code, specifically focusing on regulations for adult-oriented performances such as adult cabaret entertainment. Adult cabaret entertainment is defined as adult content performance which includes topless or exotic dancers, impersonators and alike, which may be harmful for minors. An "entertainer" is any individual providing these performances. The bill makes it a legal offence for a person to perform adult cabaret entertainment on public property or in a location where it can be viewed by minors. Any previously issued licenses or ordinance conflicting with this regulation will be superseded by this new rule. Punishments for violations are outlined, starting with a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense, escalating to a Class E felony for repeated violations. The law will take effect from April 1, 2023.
