HB 1333

Abstract

Amends the Counties Code. Provides that no adult entertainment facilities within an unincorporated area of a county shall be located within 3,000 feet of a specified area, such as a school, a day care center, a public park, a place of religious worship, or a residence (now, the ban applies throughout the county but does not include residences). Provides that the Attorney General or the State's attorney of the county in which the adult entertainment facility is located may seek enforcement by injunction. Provides that a county may adopt an ordinance to regulate adult entertainment facilities and includes definitions of specified anatomical areas and specified sexual activities. Provides that the ordinance may authorize the State's attorney to institute a civil action to restrain an ordinance violation. Authorizes fines of up to $1,000 per day for each violation and injunctive relief to abate violations or to prevent violations from continuing.
