Another hilarious CitizenLink Alert from Focus on the Family:
Kentucky Senate Bill 250:
New Bill Would End Lap Dances
[The bill] offers two overarching statewide regulations for sexually oriented businesses, has passed the Kentucky Senate and is now in the House Judiciary Committee.
The bill will bolster local regulations on sexually oriented businesses by placing a ban on total nudity and requiring that seminude employees keep a six-foot distance from patrons.
Focus on the Family continues
breathlessly:
There are only five days left in this year's legislative session, and SB 250 must get through the House Judiciary Committee and a full House vote before it can go to the governor to be signed into law. So time is short - act now.
TAKE ACTION: If you are a Kentucky citizen, please contact your representative and urge him or her to pass SB 250 -- a bill that prohibits total nudity in the state's sexually oriented businesses and keeps seminude employees at least 6 feet from patrons. Also, contact these House leaders and ask them to pass SB 250 before the session ends -- Reps. Gross Lindsay, Jody Richards, Bob Damron and Rocky Adkins. For contact information for your representative, visit the CitizenLink Action Center.
The snark factor in this is unlimited, and I'm too tired tonight to be too snarky, so I'd better just turn it over to you Kossacks. Though I
am finding it difficult to type
anything without it sounding like innuendo.
I'm not a resident of Kentucky, so I haven't researched all the ins and outs, the what-have-you's, of this issue. I haven't found a text of the actual bill online, but I did find a downloadable page of the amendments here. (I couldn't get all the links on that page to work.)
I did find this note about definitions:
"Nudity or state of nudity" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, vulva, anus, anal cleft or cleavage with less than a fully opaque covering, or the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.
Anal cleft? - Is this going to apply to honest, hardworking plumbers who have certain . . . errr . . . trouser malfunctions?
But I suppose for this to apply to plumbers, plumbing would have to be defined as a "sexually oriented business." And the anal cleft showing would be allowed if plumbing patrons stayed 6 feet away from the plumber. But is that fair?
