AI Summary
This bill seeks to prohibit drag shows from being performed in front of minors (individuals under 18 years of age) and to prohibit people from dressing in drag when reading aloud during story time in schools and public libraries, with some exceptions. The bill defines "drag performance" as a performance where the performer uses clothing, makeup, or accessories to exaggerate their gender identity in a way that is different from their gender assigned at birth, and is intended to appeal to the prurient interest. The bill also prohibits state agencies from using state funds to host a drag show.
