HB 722 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to sexually oriented businesses

HB 722 replaces Missouri's existing laws on sexually oriented businesses with new definitions and provisions. The bill defines "sexually oriented business" as any establishment offering sexually oriented materials (like explicit imagery) or performances (such as topless dancing), while presuming businesses deriving 30% or less of revenue from such materials are not covered. It clarifies key terms including "nudity" (exposed genitals, nipples, or anal area with minimal coverage), "seminude" (partial coverage of specific body areas), and "sexually oriented materials" (depicting nudity or sexual conduct). The law also prohibits a single building from housing multiple types of sexually oriented businesses, except for adult cabaret performances.
