Introduced Senate Committee Substitute - Committee Version · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was rewritten to add a new section creating a private right of action for residents to sue adult cabaret performers who perform in public or where minors could see them. The bill also reorganized the statute numbering and added a new definition for 'state of seminudity' that is more specific than the original 'nudity' definition.
Scope change
The bill now includes a new cause of action allowing private citizens to sue adult cabaret performers, which was not present in the original version.
ENFORCEMENT

Added a new section 537.048 that allows residents to sue adult cabaret performers for damages if performances occur on public property or where minors could view them.

DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'adult cabaret establishment', 'adult cabaret performer', and 'state of seminudity' which provides more specific criteria for what constitutes semi-nude exposure.

Modified the definition of 'adult cabaret performance' to explicitly include entertainers who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest in sex.

SCOPE

Changed the statute numbering from sections 573.010 and 573.520 to include a new section 537.048, expanding the bill's scope beyond just definitions and penalties.
