Bill > HB494

This bill modifies provisions relating to sexually oriented businesses. It defines key terms such as "adult cabaret," "adult cabaret performance," "nudity," and "sexually oriented business." The bill also regulates the placement of exterior advertising signs for adult cabarets and sexually oriented businesses near state highways. Additionally, it creates a new offense of "engaging in an adult cabaret performance" on public property or in a location where the performance is reasonably expected to be viewed by a person who is not an adult, with penalties ranging from a class A misdemeanor for a first offense to a class E felony for any second or subsequent offense. The bill also preempts and prevents local ordinances or regulations that conflict with its provisions.
