Nebraska is attempting to pass a law requiring statewide enforcement on “adult entertainment” business.
The Associated Press reports a former pornography addict, a state senator, and the Roman Catholic Church are backing a bill that would require all sex-related businesses be located a quarter of a mile from childcare businesses, schools, homes, playgrounds, recreational facilities, or churches.
Al Riskowski,[pictured] executive director of the Nebraska Family Council, tells OneNewsNow there is good reasoning behind the proposal. “And right here in Lincoln, Nebraska, we have such an establishment that’s only a block away from a grade school — and all the grade-schoolers walk by,” he points out. “Across the street is a preschool as well as a children’s imagination station.”

The bill also prohibits the removal of clothing in those establishments after 11 p.m.
