What does the new law mean?
 

I saw that a judge refused to issue a temporary restraining order against the new adult business law, so it's now in effect. It's mostly aimed at strip clubs, but there's also language in the law restricting adult arcades, so how will this change the way that they operate? Does anyone know anything about this?

Has anyone gone out lately? Are businesses complying with the new law? Here are a few details about the law from the KC Star:

"The law bans new sexual businesses from locating within 1,000 feet of homes, schools, churches, libraries, parks, day cares or other sexually oriented businesses. To ensure its new hands-off policy, it mandates that seminude employees remain on a stage at least 6 feet from customers. It also does away with closed-door viewing booths for pornographic movies, requiring that patrons remain within the clear view of employees."

Does anyone know if that last part applies to adult theaters as well as arcades? Are there any adult theaters in Missouri other than The Strand in KC?

Is'nt it nice how the lawmakers have our best interest in mind??

I made a visit to an arcade here in Springfield about a week ago and there were doors on the booths so not sure if this is in effect yet or what.
