Taking Someone Under 19 to a Drag Show Would Be a Misdemeanor Under Proposed Bill
Multiple Nebraska state GOP lawmakers are backing a measure that would prohibit people younger than 19 from attending drag shows and people younger than 21 from attending such performances at any location where alcohol is served — the measure lays out consequences for businesses and adults who violate the age rules by allowing young people to attend drag shows.
“No individual under nineteen years of age shall be present at a drag show. Any person nineteen years of age or older who knowingly brings an individual under nineteen years of age to a drag show shall be guilty of a Class I misdemeanor,” the bill states. “No individual under twenty-one years of age shall be present at a drag show if alcoholic liquor is being served at such location.”
The measure goes on to stipulate that any companies, establishments, or nonprofits that hold a drag performance and run afoul of the age limit rules will get slapped with a whopping $10,000 fine for every violation.
The owner of an entity that holds a drag show and knowingly permits a person below the age limit to attend will “be guilty of a Class I misdemeanor,” the measure says. (Read more from “Taking Someone Under 19 to a Drag Show Would Be a Misdemeanor Under Proposed Bill” HERE)
