                 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                       RS-09823 
                           
     This legislation is one of three bills that the Department of Law Enforcement -
     Alcohol Beverage Control recommends to cure defects in the law or eliminate
     ambiguities that cause confusion to the regulated public and citizens and
     unnecessarily consumes time of police officers. 
     
     Specifically, this legislation applies to those few licensee's who employ
     dancer-entertainers who perform dance or other acts with patrons that is
     considered in violation to state law but difficult to prove and explain. 
     
     State law needs a more objective measure that allows licensee's, their employee
     dancer-entertainers, patrons and state police to more easily know the limits. This
     legislation provides a reasonable objective standard to clarify the existing
     ambiguity. 
     
     
                    FISCAL IMPACT 
     
     No negative fiscal impact. Should allow law enforcement to be more efficient.
