ALCOHOL -- Repeals and adds to existing law to prohibit acts by a permittee or his agent or employee, to require supervision, and to provide exceptions, penalties and administrative action.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this legislation is to repeal and replace Idaho Code § 23-614. It is the intent of the State of Idaho to enact this statute to ameliorate the secondary effects at or near establishments whose predominate business is selling alcohol and, as part of that business, offering entertainment by or employing individuals who appear in a state of nudity or partial nudity or who engage in actual or simulated sexual activity. The secondary effects from such establishments are detrimental to the public health and safety and welfare of Idaho citizens, and include an increase in criminal activity (including public sexual contact between entertainers and patrons, prostitution, gang activity, sex offenses, drug use, and assaults), the potential depreciation in the value of real property, and disruption of the peace and harm to the economic welfare of the community.
