Legislation in Washington state known as the strippers' bill of rights has been signed into lawFILE - Andrea, no last name given, who works as a stripper in Seattle area clubs, poses for a portrait at her apartment, Feb. 1, 2024, in Seattle. Legislation in Washington state known as the strippers’ bill of rights, which advocates say includes the most comprehensive statewide protections in the nation, was signed into law on Monday, March 25.
The new law requires training for employees in establishments to prevent sexual harassment, identify and report human trafficking, de-escalate conflict and provide first aid. It also mandates security workers on site, keypad codes on dressing rooms and panic buttons in places where entertainers may be alone with customers.
The new law also makes it possible for adult entertainment businesses to obtain liquor licenses. The law ties the liquor licenses to compliance with the new safety regulations. But there were also concerns that adding the protections without adding revenue from alcohol sales could lead some clubs to close.
