CONTENT
The bill would create a new act to provide that tickets and advertisements for a musical performance could contain a specified parental advisory, if the performer's most recent recorded music contained a parental advisory label issued by the recording industry as to the explicit content of the recorded music. The bill also would do the following:
-- Exempt from the advisory provisions the performance of a performer who was appearing with another performer, but whose appearance had not been advertised or promoted.
-- Require the Department of State to maintain a list of music venues in the State that complied with the bill, which would be available to the public; remove a music venue that was not in compliance; and, permit a venue to petition to be placed back on the list one year after being removed.
The bill specifies that it would take effect 60 days after enactment.
