TN: Strip Clubs Prepare For New Reality
Bill Dries of the Memphis Daily News reports:
This week’s federal court ruling denying a request by strip club owners to block enforcement of a new county ordinance governing them is set to take effect Wednesday.
The new rules include a ban on beer or any alcohol in the clubs - which club owners say is an essential part of their operations. The county ordinance went on the book with the new year, but it allowed a 120-day grace period for local government to set up the system of permits and criminal background checks that all employees and all owners must undergo. The four-month grace period ends April 30.
