AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's laws regarding adult-oriented performances. It creates a new offense for a person who engages in an "adult cabaret performance" on public property or in a location where the performance could be viewed by someone who is not an adult. The bill defines "adult cabaret entertainment" as adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors, such as those featuring topless dancers, strippers, or similar entertainers. The bill also defines an "entertainer" as someone who provides such adult-oriented performances, regardless of whether a fee is charged or they are an employee or independent contractor.
