Drag performances as adult entertainment classification
AI Generated Summary
This bill intends to classify drag performances as a form of adult entertainment in Minnesota. As a result, venues hosting drag performances would fall under the same category as other adult entertainment establishments and face the same location restrictions. These restrictions include not being allowed on public property, not being visible to minors, maintaining certain distances from other adult entertainment venues, residential areas, schools, and places of worship. Essentially, the bill aims to regulate where drag performances can be held by applying existing laws for adult entertainment businesses to these events.
