Iowa Senate bill targets exposing minors to obscene performances
A Des Moines area proposal, Senate File 116, would criminalize exposing minors to obscene performances and bar state institutions from hosting or funding such events. It would allow parents to sue, set minimum damages at 10000, and make allowing minors on premises or providing tickets an aggravated misdemeanor. The bill faced a 2 to 1 subcommittee vote, drawing criticism that it targets drag venues and could invite frivolous lawsuits.
