Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to make it a criminal offense for a person to engage in an adult cabaret performance where it may be viewed by a minor
AI Summary
This bill makes it a criminal offense for someone to engage in an "adult cabaret performance," which is defined as a performance featuring topless dancers, go-go dancers, strippers, or similar entertainers that appeals to sexual interest, occurring in a location other than a designated adult cabaret. This prohibition applies if the performance takes place on public property or in any location where a minor could potentially view it. The bill also states that it overrides any local laws or regulations that might have previously allowed such performances. A first offense under this new law would be a misdemeanor, while subsequent offenses would be considered felonies, carrying potential fines of up to $25,000 and imprisonment for up to five years.
