AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of a "sexually oriented business" in Texas law to include businesses that provide live "drag performances" for an audience of two or more individuals, in addition to businesses that provide live nude entertainment or performances. The bill also defines "drag performance" as a performance where a performer exhibits a gender identity different from their assigned gender at birth, using clothing, makeup, or other physical markers, and engages in activities like singing, lip-syncing, dancing, or other performances for entertainment. The bill specifies that this new definition applies to nightclubs, bars, restaurants, and similar commercial enterprises that serve alcohol on-premises.
