Prohibiting certain funding and involvement or attendance of minors to drag shows
This bill defines "drag shows" as events where adults wear exaggerated gender-costume makeup for entertainment. It prohibits all West Virginia government funding for organizing, promoting, or hosting such shows, and bans minors from participating in or attending them. Event organizers must verify attendees' ages, and violations could require organizers or guardians to complete services like parenting classes. The law directly affects state agencies (by restricting funding), minors (by barring attendance), and event organizers (by imposing age checks and potential penalties).
