Title of bill
An act to amend the New York city charter, in relation to the duties of community boards regarding establishments featuring nudity for entertainment purposes
Purpose of bill
To require that community boards review applications for establishments featuring employees exposing the top or bottom part of their body for entertainment purposes.
Summary of provisions
The New York City Charter is amended by adding a new paragraph to subdivision (d) that would require community board approval of an establishment which has employees exposing the top or bottom part of their body for entertainment purposes as part of the attraction. Approval of the community board would be necessary after holding a public hearing on such application.
Justification
The proliferation of adult-entertainment establishments in Queens has brought to the attention of the public, a need for review of the opening of such establishments. The fifty-nine city-wide community boards should act as the body to oversee what is brought into their neighborhood. The public will have the opportunity to review such an opening at a public hearing at least ten days prior to a regular scheduled meeting, where a decision will be rendered by a vote of the membership. This will provide notification to the public of an adult-entertainment establishment opening and would provide the public a forum at which they would be able to state their opinions on the application before the board.
Fiscal implication
None.
