Create a new section of KRS Chapter 525 to define "adult performance"; establish the offense of engaging in an adult performance; establish penalties; EMERGENCY.
AI Summary
This bill creates a new law in Kentucky that defines "adult performance" to include live sexually explicit performances or performances by male or female impersonators that appeal to prurient interest, depict sexual conduct offensively, and lack serious artistic or other value. It then establishes the offense of engaging in an adult performance if it occurs on public property or in a place where minors are likely to see it, with penalties escalating from a Class B misdemeanor for a first offense to a Class D felony for subsequent offenses. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, due to the stated importance of protecting children.
