S 1503 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to prohibit the use of Department of Defense funds for adult cabaret performances.

This bill (S 1503) bans the use of Department of Defense (DoD) funds or DoD facilities for adult cabaret performances. It prohibits the DoD from hosting, advertising, or supporting any performance featuring topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dances, strippers, or male/female impersonators that appeals to prurient interest. The law directly affects DoD spending and operations, restricting where and how its budget can be used. It creates a clear definition of prohibited performances to ensure the ban applies consistently.
