, also named the “Protection of Children” bill, establishes criminal penalties for venues that allow minors to attend such performances and for employees who permit minors into adult shows.
“This bill exclusively deals with performances of an adult nature that children are allowed to attend,” said bill sponsor State Representative Randy Fine .“These vague bills that we’re passing here they are having negative impacts and chilling effects on communities,” said State Representative Angie Nixon .
The bill if passed in the state of Florida could fine restaurants and even take away their business license if they reportedly had adult entertainment in the presence of a child.“It hurts these children, it hurts their families and it hurts this state,” said Representative Fine.
“This is an obsession with other people’s bodies, with the way other people identify. It’s an obsession with using the power of government to stifle and censor people out of society,” said Wolf.The bathroom bill still has one more committee stop in the Senate before it will be ready for a floor vote in that chamber.
The ban on gender treatments for minors will have to go to the Senate floor for a second time since the House amended the bill it originally passed.. Proponents of the treatment argue that it is medically necessary, effective and safe.
