Relating to the definition of a sexually oriented business; imposing a fee.
SB 2804 amends Texas law to define "sexually oriented business" and impose a fee on such businesses. It specifically targets venues that provide live nude entertainment (including those serving alcohol) or host performances classified as "sexually oriented" under the Penal Code. The bill defines "nude" as clothing leaving certain body parts visible through thin or non-opaque fabric. The fee provision is included in the bill, though the exact amount isn't specified in the text. The bill would take effect September 1, 2025, if passed.
