Tennessee: Deadline Looms for Adult Businesses
Tuesday, April 29, some employees of strip clubs and adult bookstores were scrambling to pay a $200 licensing fee by the close of business at county offices.
Under a new ordinance passed by Shelby County Commissioners, all employees — from the janitors to the strippers — must have a background check and carry a permit that can be shown to a law enforcement officer on demand.
The rules also call for an end to beer sales at all strip clubs that operate within the county limits.
