As Tennessee dominated headlines last week for becoming the first U.S. state to ban drag shows and adult cabaret performances in public places, the state Legislature is taking up another piece of legislation that could impact adult performances in private.
The latest bill (pdf) would require a person to “obtain a valid entertainer permit from the adult-oriented establishment board, in those jurisdictions with a board, prior to performing adult cabaret entertainment for compensation.”
