New Washington Law Mandates Panic Buttons and Safety Training in Strip Clubs

Posted On 27 Mar 2024
By : ynotdennis

Strip ClubsPORTLAND, OR – Washington State has enacted new legislation known as the “strippers’ bill of rights,” aimed at enhancing safety measures and worker protections in the adult entertainment industry. Governor Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 6105 into law, mandating several security enhancements and operational changes for establishments.

Key provisions of the bill include the installation of panic buttons in private and potentially vulnerable areas such as bathrooms and dressing rooms, to ensure workers can alert security in emergencies. Additionally, adult entertainment venues are now required to maintain records of any allegations against customers involving sexual misconduct or related offenses.

The legislation also stipulates the presence of at least one security officer on the premises during business hours and introduces a training program for workers on topics such as sexual harassment prevention, human trafficking awareness, and conflict de-escalation.

Addressing financial aspects of the industry, SB 6105 caps the fees that can be charged to entertainers by their employers, setting a maximum fee limit to ensure fairer compensation practices. Furthermore, the law opens the possibility for adult entertainment businesses to obtain liquor licenses, pending compliance with regulatory standards.

Senator Rebecca Saldaña, who spearheaded the bill, emphasized the importance of recognizing and protecting the rights of workers in the adult entertainment sector, advocating for their entitlement to the same legal protections and safety measures as any other workforce. This legislative move marks a significant step in efforts to combat exploitation, trafficking, and abuse within the industry, reflecting years of advocacy by the Strippers Are Workers organization.

The initiative highlights Washington’s proactive stance in addressing the unique challenges and risks faced by individuals working in adult entertainment, setting a precedent for other states to follow in safeguarding the rights and well-being of these workers.
