This bill died with 56th Legislature - First Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
Vetoed by Governor Katie Hobbs (Democratic) on June 16, 2023.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

What changed in the latest version
1213 added · 47 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to SB 1698 removed the specific mention of "drag shows" and broadened the definition of "adult oriented business" to include any establishment hosting sexually explicit performances. This change matters because it expands the scope of the bill, ensuring that all forms of adult entertainment are covered, not just drag shows. Furthermore, the amendment clarifies that unlawful exposure can occur if an adult allows a minor under their control to view such performances, tightening the regulations regarding the protection of minors.
