Protecting minors from exposure to indecent displays of sexually explicit nature
This bill prohibits minors under 18 from attending venues displaying sexually explicit content without parental accompaniment. It amends penalties for indecent exposure near minors and creates exemptions for private venues like restaurants, sports stadiums, and private clubs that meet specific operational requirements. The law specifically targets venues where "obscene matter or sexually explicit conduct" occurs, with penalties including fines up to $500 for venue owners admitting minors without parental supervision. The bill focuses on venue access rules rather than individual conduct, applying directly to venue operators and minors.
