Bill > SB1164

This bill establishes new regulations and definitions concerning adult cabarets and performances, aiming to address public policy interests such as mitigating adverse secondary effects, improving traffic safety, and limiting harm to minors. Key provisions include defining "adult cabaret" as an establishment featuring nudity or seminudity, and "adult cabaret performance" as a performance appealing to prurient interest outside of an adult cabaret, regardless of payment. The bill also introduces civil liability for adult cabaret performers, allowing residents to sue performers if their acts occur on public property or where they can be viewed by individuals under eighteen, with potential for damages and attorney fees. Furthermore, it creates the offense of "engaging in an adult cabaret performance" under specific circumstances, classifying it as a misdemeanor for a first offense and a felony for subsequent offenses, and these provisions are intended to preempt conflicting local ordinances.
