Sexually oriented performances; prohibit in front of minors.

HB 1686 prohibits commercial venue operators from allowing performances involving sexual content in the presence of minors under 18 years old. It imposes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and authorizes the Attorney General to enforce the law through fines or court injunctions. The bill would have taken effect on July 1, 2026, but it died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. This legislation directly affects businesses hosting live entertainment, such as clubs or theaters, by restricting certain performances near minors.
